again. There was an earlier case I evaluated which it was ok, then someone
updated and it was broken.

To be more precise, 12543 was ok, 12549 failed all tests. What bugs has
12577 introduced?
Is there any chance of convincing the Pari developers to actually make a
well-tested stable release? The Pari developers can make commits to svn
more rapidly than Sage developers can test the code. That's 34 different
source versions in 13 days. Would anyone like to try to convince me these
are well tested?
