-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I think I found a bug, or use singular in sage in the wrong way: sage: R = QQ['x1,x2,x3,x4,x5'] sage: (x1,x2,x3,x4,x5) = R.gens() sage: I = (x1*x4^2 - x2*x5^2, x1^3*x3^3 - x4^2*x2^4, x2*x4^8 - x3^3*x5^6)* R sage: I.quotient(x3*R) == I True

Hi, currently on OS X (at least 10.5.5) Sage's mercurial will crash when it executes EDITOR and it picks up libpng for some reason. This is inconvenient because hg_sage.commit() won't work from within Sage. In discussions with Michael Abshoff the possible solution to this is to patch hg t
