Comment:

 Various p-adic precision bandaids applied, so that William's loop now runs
 up to this one:

 sage: EllipticCurve("7690e1").S_integral_points([13,2])

 at which point there's an error raised deep in the p-adic code.  I can't
 deal with that now, so someone will have to make a judgement about whether
 this is now "good enough".

 Working with p-adics is an acquired skill which I'm not sure I have enough
 of -- perhaps we need reinforcements?  For example, you cannot just do
 E.change_ring(Qp(p,precision)) for E an elliptic curve over Q, since an
 error will be raised if the precision is too low (only of p is a prime of
 bad reduction I think, so one should be able to work out the necessary
 precision).

 Tobias and Michael, the try/except I put in around line 5077 of
 ell_rational_field.py was not fully thought through, perhaps that is
 something you should look into?
