Comment:

 The patch seems to fix the bug. The string that is evaluated by PARI
 defines a variable 'b' and uses it exactly twice. The definition of 'b' is
 not so long: It is {{{b=Mod(m,n)}}}. OK, m and n can be large numbers. But
 still, I think the cleanest solution is to expand the definition and
 insert {{{Mod(m,n)}}} twice in the string.

 sage -t "devel/sage/sage/rings/finite_rings/integer_mod.pyx" passes, I now
 do sage -testall

 Of course, I added a doctest against the bug.
