I recently installed Sage 8.1 from source on a server running RHEL. The
install seemed to go fine, and sage passes all of the tests that run from
sage --testall.
However I've run into a lot of strange errors trying to run some of my code
that worked fine on my (Linux Mint) desktop running Sage 7.5.1.
A lot of the errors seem tricky to pin down exactly (oddly my numerical
values differ slightly from those obtained on my desktop in a few cases),
but I finally isolated one specific example that causes sage to crash.
Attempting to numerically approximate the value of 2^(450232897/4888643760)
results in a runtime error, though it never says what the error is. I've
copied and pasted the entire error output below.
If I modify the fraction slightly, it executes fine.
On several other sage installations, the exact same command
N(2^(450232897/4888643760))
executes, giving the value 1.06591892580915.
sage: N(2^(450232897/4888643760))
