This looks pretty nasty: sage: Fx.b=GF(2^(4*5)) sage: Ex=EllipticCurve(Fx,[0,0,1,1,1]) sage: Ex.defining_polynomial() x^3 + y^2*z + 0*x*z^2 + 0*y*z^2 + 0*z^3 (note the coefficients of zero). I found this while reviewing #5765 but the above is in a vanilla 3.4.2.alpha0, and it is wrong; though

OK, here's a much simpler example, which also indicates that it's a problem with finite fields (again, aarrgh): {{{ sage: Fx.b = GF(2^15) sage: R.x,y = Fx[] sage: R({(1,2):1})# this works fine x*y^2 sage: Fx.b = GF(2^16) sage: R.x,y = Fx[] sage: R({(1,2):1})# this sucks!!! 0*x*y^2 }}}
