Hi,

First of all, I don't know whether to post about this here, or file a
bug report, or something else. I'm new to community developed
software. Let me know if this isn't the right place to report the
following.

I'm using sage 2.9.2 and 2.9.3 on different (both PPC) machines, both
running OS X 10.4.
Consider the following commands which should expand an elementary
symmetric function as a polynomial in 3 variables:

########
# Code
########

sage: k=SFAElementary(QQ)
sage: f=k([2])
sage: f.expand(3)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

   1041             #if len(part) > n:
   1042             #    continue
-> 1043             res += self_mc[part] * resPR(e(part, n, alphabet))
   1044         return res
   1045

# End

Similar commands, but on objects from SFASchur, SFAPower, SFAMonomial,
etc.., work perfectly. It seems to be only SFAElementary that has a
problem.

Thanks,

BFJ
