 Funny that you name pbori.pyx! Meanwhile the doctests are finished, and I
 got the error exactly there! And it is reproducible. Namely:
 {{{
 sage -t --verbose -force_lib "devel/sage/sage/rings/polynomial/pbori.pyx"
 2342 tests in 280 items.
 2342 passed and 0 failed.
 Test passed.
 *** glibc detected *** python: double free or corruption (!prev):
 0x0000000007367de0 ***
 }}}
 and then htop shows me processes like
 {{{
 python /mnt/local/king/.sage/tmp/pbori_22813.py
 python /mnt/local/king/.sage/tmp/mpc622-24779/pbori_9077.py
 }}}
 that are running at 0% CPU. Timeout, and again the error occurs when
 shutting down Sage.

 But that's good, because it is reproducible! And if pbori.pyx uses a weak
 dictionary (I hope it wasn't I who introduced it...), it absolutely makes
 sense to see an error there.
