       Type:  defect           |           Status:  new

 {{{
 sage: K.<a> = NumberField(x^2-x+1)
 sage: E = EllipticCurve([a+1,1,1,0,0])
 sage: C = IsogenyClass_EC_NumberField(E)
 ...
 ValueError: 0 is not prime.
 }}}
 is caused by
 {{{
 sage: from sage.schemes.elliptic_curves.isogeny_class import
 possible_isogeny_degrees
 sage: possible_isogeny_degrees(E)
 [0]
 }}}
 and in turn by
 {{{
 sage: EG = E.galois_representation()
 sage: EG.reducible_primes()
 [0]
 }}}

 According to the documentation for the last function it should return [0]
 if and only if E has CM, which is does not:
 {{{
 sage: E.has_cm()
 False
 sage: E.j_invariant().is_integral()
 False
 }}}
 (CM curves certainly have integral j-invariant, so you don't need to trust
 the is_cm() method to believe that!)
