Yeah, I still don't understand why that test failed/aborted, even so. But I've made the changes to the code. It's not a serious issue, since it is only the test code, so there's no need for SAGE to update FLINT in a hurry. I'll issue a patch some time over the next few days or so. Thanks for doin

I did find some occurrences of 63 instead of FLINT_BITS-1, but I don't believe this should be causing any problems with that function. Since the function doesn't say fail, I can only imagine this is an out of memory problem. But I don't see any leaks, nor any requests for large blocks. Can you t

From a social point of view, I think this would be a great idea. However, Mathematica contains many functions that have no equivalent in Sage. You might find yourself re-implementing Mathematica from scratch. -David On Dec 24, 5:15 pm, "Ondrej Certik" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > I am th
