I'm having the following problem with basic symbolics in Sage 4.3.2.
I create some variables with "var", combine them into rational
functions, then take their numerator and denominator and coerce them
into a PolynomialRing. This works fine most of the time, but very
occasionally (every few 10000 usages) it chokes with following error
message:
TypeError: unable to make sense of Maxima expression
'"__SAGE_SYNCHRO_MARKER_202188656"' in Sage
If I use "pdb" to go up to frame at the top of the traceback, and
rerun the offending line, it works, as you can see below.
Sometimes it dies with other message complaining about the syntax of
seeming correct expressions, e.g.
TypeError: Error executing code in Maxima
CODE:
_tmp_ : -(a0-1)*a1^2*a3$
Maxima ERROR:
_tmp_ : -(a0-1)*a1^2*a3$
stdin:57338284:Incorrect syntax: Illegal use of delimiter )
(%i832002)
stdin:57338357:Incorrect syntax: Premature termination of input at ;.
(%i832003)
Any ideas of what's going on here?
Thanks,
Nathan
