Comment(by GeorgSWeber):

 The file "devel/sage/sage/rings/number_field/totallyreal_rel.py" has five
 functions, and only three of these have doctests. The problem in this
 ticket is with one these, which is an internal function not used
 elsewhere. From what I guess from the code, it is meant to be called with
 "inexact" bounds --- see the use of "eps_global".

 So we might "heal" this internal function by using some kind of interval
 technique --- but the price could be high, i.e. slowing down the algorithm
 where this internal function is intended to be used.

 I rather propose to heal the doctest by giving bounds [-0.1, 5.1] ...
 instead of [0, 5] ..., which most probably is far closer to the actual
 intended usage than the current doctest.
