I thought about phrasing it like that, but to me "segfault" (besides
perhaps being somewhat cryptic to many users) makes it sound like Sage
crashes if this is called with the wrong arguments. In fact, the
segmentation fault is caught and a `SignalError` is raised. Also, it is
entirely possible that PARI will throw other kinds of errors for certain
inputs.
