[sage-devel] Re: Unexpected failure on a test with znpoly

It is testing exceptionally simple code, with exceptionally simple tests. I doubt this is a bug in zn_poly. If it turns out to not be reproducible, I would ignore it. It's much more likely a cosmic ray or transient hardware fault or bug in the OS. But let's see if it can be reproduced. Bill. O

Is the problem reproducible? If so, a valgrind log would be useful to debug the problem. It should find the source of any segfault. zn_poly would need to be compiled with the -g option to GCC. It could of course be a compiler bug. Possibly compilation with a lower optimisation level would make it
