Comment (by SimonKing):

 Concerning the oddity that there is an error (but no segfault) with gdb:
 It says
 {{{
 File "/scratch/sking/sage-5.4.beta0/devel/sage-
 main/sage/misc/cachefunc.pyx", line 799, in __main__.example_17
 Failed example:
     oddprime_factors.precompute(range(Integer(1),Integer(100)),
 Integer(4))###line 704:_sage_    >>>
 oddprime_factors.precompute(range(1,100), 4)
 Expected nothing
 Got:
     [Errno 4] Interrupted system call
     Killing any remaining workers...
 }}}
 Why does "interrupted system call" mean? The failing function appears to
 be the cached version of
 {{{
             def oddprime_factors(n):
                 l = [p for p,e in factor(n) if p != 2]
                 return len(l)
 }}}
 What system call is involved here?
