 But that means: We finally have a system where it happens ''with
 #715+#11521 only''! So far, we only had Volker's patchbot, which produced
 segfaults when other patches were applied on top of #11521.

 Hence, hope increases.

 Did it really fully pass and you came back to your shell prompt, or did
 the tests pass and there was a segfault when Sage shuts down?

 Can you produce a backtrace, say, by using gdb? Or can you give me access
 to the machine, so that I can do some experiments?

 Best regards,
 Simon
