Comment:

 On the following system, with Sage 4.5.3.alpha2.

  * Sun Ultra 27
  * 3.33 GHz Intel Xeon W3580 CPU. 4 cores. 8 threads. (Hyperthreaded)
  * 12 GB of ECC DDR3 RAM
  * 2 x 500 GB disks (both mirrored)
  * 2 x 2 TB disks (both mirrored)
  * ZFS 128-bit file system, which should detect and correct errors
  * !OpenSolaris 06/2009.

 which is not a cheap PC, but a decent workstation, I see this error 4
 times when

 {{{
 make ptestlong
 }}}

 was run 100 times. So it's causing  {{{make ptestlong }}} to fail in 4% of
 cases for me. Since this machine is hyperthreaded and has 4 cores, 8
 threads would be run when the doctests were run. I've checked the system
 logs and there are now reported hardware problems.

 The following tests failed one or more times

 {{{
 devel/sage-main/sage/modular/overconvergent/weightspace.py (twice)
 devel/sage/sage/tests/benchmark.py (once)
 devel/sage/sage/calculus/desolvers.py (once)
 }}}

 In each case, although the exact error message is different, I always see:

 {{{
 Premature termination of input
 }}}
