This actually bothered me for a while too. There is a patch on the
trac ticket, please test it out on Linux :-)

 I have never seen that before.

 And a question: on my mac, suppose I want to use TeXShop instead of
 xdvi to display the output of the view command.  Is there a way to do
 this?


 The use of xdvi is hardcoded in

 sage/misc/latex.py

 so the answer is I guess to change this and submit a patch
 or make it a trac ticket.   It's reasonable to consider this
 a bug, since view should I think just use the OS X open
 command as defined in sage/misc/viewer.py, i.e., use
 whatever is the default opener for a dvi file on your system.

 It's hardcoded xdvi right now since that was some of the first
 sage code I ever wrote and that was long before I ported
 Sage to run on OS X...

 OK, I made this trac #3137:

Works okay for me.  (By the way, I am unable to reproduce my problem
from a few days ago, either before applying the patch or after.  Maybe
my computer was just acting up?)
