Comment(by SimonKing):

 Hi Volker,

 good that you managed to install it. Meanwhile I think I can debug it
 without the core dump - I think mistaking a sparse with a dense vector
 space is a pretty convincing reason for a segfault.


 However, I hate that old code!!

 I tried `verify_action`, but then hundreds of tests fail in
 sage/modular/modsym/space.py. So, apparently it is very common to have
 non-unique parents in such a way that the action can ''not'' be fixed!

 For example, I see errors like
 {{{
     TypeError: Coercion of [Infinity] - [0] (of type <class
 'sage.modular.modsym.boundary.BoundarySpaceElement'>) into Space of
 Boundary Modular Symbols for Congruence Subgroup Gamma0(43) of weight 2
 and over Rational Field not (yet) defined.
 }}}

 Anyway, `verify_action` is no solution.
