THese tests (which are only one test in fact, tested with both the static and dynamic builds) fail because Sage chooses not to include the optional elliptic curve database from pari -- which is the same as the one we alteady have in an optional spkg, both being generated from my data files. And is 13.8MB. I have suggested to Karim Belbas that make test-all should automatically not run these tests when the optional data files have not been installed. Until that happens, we can get around it by not using the target test-all, and instead manually add in all the relevant test targets. Anyway, the failure of this tests is not an indication that anything is wrong. pari's make test-all runs 3299 lines of code, some of which (in nffactor specifically) runs examples which have been reported as raising bugs which have been fixed. All this is a lot better than some people have been making out, so please be careful when criticising this crucial component of Sage!
