Sage segfaults when printing a copy of something symbolics :

sage: copy(x)

As I noted earlier, I see this on my machine (Sun Ultra 27 running OpenSolaris).
However, it must be relatively new, as I do *NOT* see the segfault at

http://t2nb.math.washington.edu:8000

which is running Sage 4.5.1. That said, that's a big-endian machine, which could
just be relevant.

Conceivable, since it's definitely not new, as I get

Unhandled SIGSEGV: A segmentation fault occurred in Sage.
This probably occurred because a *compiled* component
of Sage has a bug in it (typically accessing invalid memory)
or is not properly wrapped with _sig_on, _sig_off.
You might want to run Sage under gdb with 'sage -gdb' to debug this.
Sage will now terminate (sorry).

While on my PPC OS X 10.4 machine, I just get a long hang (this is
4.6.alpha2) with no output.

So at any rate the behavior is very machine-dependent at this point,
but not really ideal on any of them (with the possible exception of
t2).

Worth noting is the PPC and SPARC are both big endian, so the fact it is ok on t2 does not mean it's only a problem on little endian machines.

When Sage builds, there are around 3000 warnings messages from the compilers. I can't help feeling we should be spending a bit more time looking over those, and a bit less time adding new features.
