While that fixes the infinite loop, it only works around another issue that is uncovered, namely that the x in the polynomial returned by charpoly() is not accessible to the user: sage: P x^4 - 5/4*t*x - 2*t sage: P - x^4 x^4 - 5/4*t*x - x^4 - 2*t The reason is apparently that the polynomial ring was not created by the user on the command line but by the charpoly() code. This shows for example also with: sage: QQbar(sqrt(2)).minpoly() x^2 - 2 sage: _ + x^2 x^2 + x^2 - 2 i would consider this a high priority bug.
