Hi,

A student encountered an error when running sage from the command line
on OSX 10.6. When she tries the command

    sage: point((3,3))

sage crashes and OS X gives the message,

    /Applications/sage/local/bin/sage-sage: line 199:  5436 Abort trap
              sage-ipython "$@" -i

sage does not crash when creating a point, only when trying to show
it, and only from the command line.

In Linux, this works fine, and I realize this is OSX so maybe it
shouldn't work at all. She didn't try it before upgrading to 10.5, so
we were wondering if

(1) this is expected behavior;
(2) if not,
(2a) does anyone else encounter this problem on OSX, or is her
computer bonkers?
(2b) is there a possible fix? that is, is there a missing program that
sage is trying to call, but failing & thus crashing, so she can fix
this by installing the program?

regards
john perry
