Comment (by pbruin):
Sorry, my last comment wasn't very clear. I meant to say that this ticket
should stay open until the bug is fixed (either directly in a PARI
release, via a patch in the PARI package that Sage uses, or via a
workaround in the Sage library), and that the doctest should check that
the bug is fixed, i.e. that the output of `hilbert_symbol()` is
mathematically correct.
I read Bill Allombert's reply at `http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1561`; I would interpret it as saying that
''automatically'' it is only guaranteed to be fixed in 2.8, but if it is
considered serious enough (which would be logical given that it is a
mathematical error) it might also be included in the next stable bugfix
release, which is 2.7.1. In the latter case, Sage should be able to
profit from it soon.
