For the record, I tried the above calculation at least 250,000 times
on two macs (running OSX 10.5 and 10.6) and on Ubuntu 9.10 with a i7

try again with 4.5.3, maybe its related to the Pari upgrade.
Otherwise +1 to Alex's comments.

Pari has not been upgraded in 4.5.3 - it will be 4.6.0 before that's updated.
There have been many reports of where doctests fail when running
make ptest
or
make ptestlong
which later pass if run individually. I've lost count of the number of times
I've seen that reported, on every operating system under the Sun.
I'll post a list of the failure once I've run them 100 times.
I've got a feelign the frequency of failures might be related to system load,
though that's hard to prove. There have been long periods where all tests passed
every time, and I believe those were when I was not using the machine for much
else. The failures occcured on runs numbered 4, 11, 17, 21, 22, 23, 26, 34, 60, 66.
So 25 times in succession all tests pass, but then there are periods where there
are a number of failures.
Anyway, I'll just leave it running, and see what happens.
