I already fixed that in polys3 and written tests.

terms_gcd() function (equivalent of gcdfactor()) is available in polys3, so  
you don't
need to reimplement its functionality. The rest of the patch seems OK. The  
only
question is if using non-core functionality in Add.as_numer_denom() is the  
right
thing to do. I expect as_numer_denom() to be as fast as possible and not  
necessarily
returning optimal results. We have fraction() for "magic". But if  
terms_gcd() (or
gcdfactor()) is not slowing down as_numer_denom() too much then why not, at  
least we
cut down on cancel() in this case.
