Comment (by jpflori):

 Here is some progress hopefully:
 the easiiest way I found to reproduce the memory corruption error is
 through doctesting sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_padic_field.py

 Within this file the problem seems to come (meaning that if I remove it I
 cannont repoduce the bug in a reasonable time) from the line
 {{{
 uN = (1 + h(x0)/y0**(2*p)).sqrt()
 }}}
 and more precisely from the evaluation
 {{{
 h(x0)
 }}}
 AND because it is done within a locally defined function whereas h is
 defined in the outer function.

 I'm not sure all the memory corruption problems come from such a case, but
 at least sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/padics.py where I've seen one time
 such a bug and sage/schemes/elliptic_curves/ell_tate_curve.py where I've
 seen it several times use similarly locally defined functions.
