 I almost just got in trouble doing some research due to the following
 rather serious bug in modular symbols:

 {{{
 /scratch/wstein/sage-6.4.rc1$ ./sage
 ┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
 │ Sage Version 6.4.rc1, Release Date: 2014-11-01                     │
 │ Type "notebook()" for the browser-based notebook interface.        │
 │ Type "help()" for help.                                            │
 └───────────────────────────────────────────────────sage: x =
 EllipticCurve('64a1').modular_symbol_space(sign=1).basis()[0]
 sage: x.modular_symbol_rep()
 {-1/3, -1/4} - {1/5, 1/4}
 sage: latex(x.modular_symbol_rep())
 \left\{\frac{-1}{3}, \frac{-1}{4}\right\}
 }}}

 Notice that the latex representation completely omits the second summand.
 I was using show(x) to typeset output nicely, and getting massively
 misled.
