Comment(by stankewicz):

 Replying to [comment:3 cremona]:
 > If we can come up with an example which fails in gp then it would be
 easy to send a bug report to the pari developers.  It is harder if we can
 only get the error using the pari library, since then they might want a C
 program in the report.  I think (quite reasonably) that the pari
 developers cannot be expected to debug things which can only be
 demonstrated in a Sage run -- even if the use of pari in Sage has
 increased the number of pari users worldwide by a lot!

 Well, I ran it on gp and it worked just fine. The results are included in
 the text file I've attached along with the same example failing in sage.
 When I -gdb it I get pointed to /usr/local/sage/local/LIB/libpari-gmp.so.2

 That in addition to the fact that the code for factoring a univariate
 polynomial over a number field appears to essentially consist of "make
 PARI do it" is why it appeared that PARI was causing the SegFault.
