Comment(by drkirkby):

 Replying to [comment:167 jdemeyer]:
 > I updated to PARI svn 12577 (some more bugs have been fixed), did a long
 doctest on a 32-bit and a 64-bit Intel Linux system.  There were a few
 failures appearing, I will add a patch soon (this patch is not included in
 the sage distribution
 [http://cage.ugent.be/~jdemeyer/sage/sage-4.5.2.rc1.newpari.v0.tar])

 What concerns me, is all this updating of svn. Sure some bugs might be
 fixed, but others are getting introduced. It would be nice if there was a
 stable version. Every time you update, so the testing needs to be done
 again. There was an earlier case I evaluated which it was ok, then someone
 updated and it was broken.

 There's no point keep testing the code, if the source gets updated.

 Personally, I'd revert to the svn which underwent a fair amount of
 testing.
