In short:
```
for A2 in range(1, 10**5):
   E=EllipticCurve([A2,0])
   rn=E.root_number()
```
leaks nearly 128MB of memory on sage 10.4

The same code in pari passes with very little memory.

This is related to the following problem in algebraic geometry [1]

Let $k,k_1,k_2$ be squarefree pairwise coprime integers.

Assume $|k|>1$ and $|k_1|>1$ and $|k_2|>1$.

Define the elliptic curves over the rationals:

$$E_0:x^3+k x=y^2, E_1: x^3+k k_1^2 x,E_2: x^3+k k_2^2 x =y^2,
E_3: x^3+k k_1^2 k_2^2 x=y^2$$
<

Then at least one of the root numbers of E_i is -1.
