Comment(by cremona):

 This is very strange.  For that curve E2, I sometimes get
 {{{
 Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + a*x*y + (a+1)*y = x^3 + (a+1)*x^2 +
 (12289755603565800754*a-75759141535687466985)*x +
 (51556320144761417221790307379*a-317814501841918807353201512829) over
 Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 - 38
 }}}
 but sometimes I get
 {{{
 Elliptic Curve defined by y^2 + a*x*y + (a+1)*y = x^3 + (a+1)*x^2 +
 (368258520200522046806318444*a-2270097978636731786720859345)*x +

 over Number Field in a with defining polynomial x^2 - 38
 }}}
 on the same machine.  (Note that both are valid, since both are models
 with a unit Discriminant so are certainly global minimal models.)

 The only way round this I can see in the short term is to remove the line
 in the doctest which displays E2 itself.  What do people think?
