Comment(by was):
Ultimately factorization over number fields are done by PARI. Looking at
g.factor?? you see that the factorization is ultimately handled by PARI
after some manipulations to account for denominators in the defining
polynomial for the number field. So it's likely that the bug is actually
in PARI. But we'll see. If I were debugging this I would put some print
statements in the factor function to see exactly what is passed off to
pari and see if pari is buggy. If so, report upstream, after trying the
latest svn version.
