@William: that looks like the correct diagnosis. The return value is a list of elliptic curve points, and was failing except on the exmpty list. I got around it by returning the bare coordinates as [P.xy() for P in E.gens()]
@Jeroen: I was about to say "I didn't know about alarm()" untl I saw that I wrote almost exactly those words on that ticket 16 months ago. And the use case is exactly what I want here too. And I am using 5.13.beta3. So I'll try using alarm! However, the @fork did work after I got around the pickling issue. It would be good if thepickling restriction was mentioned in the documentation for @fork, all the same.
