New description:

 sage: f = ZZ!['x'](1000000 * ![1])[[BR]]sage:
 f(1)[[BR]]/home/bosman/sage-4.4.2/local/bin/sage-sage: Zeile 206: 32438
 Segmentation fault      sage-ipython "$@" -i

 It is caused by sage/rings/polynomial/polynomial_compiled.pyx: generic_pd
 and derived classes create objects having large chains of dependencies.
 They make the recursively implemented methods as well as the garbage
 collector run out of stack space.  I decided to simply use the 'naive'
 method for evaluating large degree polynomials.
