 Basic arithmetic with AA can lead to enormous expression trees, which
 easily leads to recursion depth errors and excessive memory use.

 {{{
 x = 3*AA(sqrt(2))/200
 moves = [ 1/60,  3*AA(sqrt(2))/200, -AA(sqrt(3))/1000 ]
 for i in xrange(1000000): x = x + moves[randint(0, len(moves)-1)];
 print x
 12064.933787495?
 x.exactify()
 /Users/mkoeppe/bin/sage: line 134: 41236 Segmentation fault: 11
 "$SAGE_ROOT/src/bin/sage" "$@"
 }}}

 (I mentioned this to some developers during the Sage Days in Davis in
 2013, but didn't follow up on it.)
