[sage-devel] SegFaults under Fedora 12 (#7773)

2010-02-23 Thread Paul Zimmermann
Hi, the problem with SegFaults under Fedora 12 (#7773) still sucks with 4.3.3, and makes reviewing patches more difficult. If any Sage developer is attending SD20 we can investigate that together on my laptop. Paul PS: I have put links on #7773 to the log of sage -t * and the install log.

[sage-devel] first aliquot factor found by SAGE ECM interface

2008-01-02 Thread Paul Zimmermann
Lehmer five sequences. The main difficulty is that to compute sigma(n), you have to factor n. For the current large numbers we encounter (150-160 digits) we use a combination of different algorithms (ECM, QS, NFS). I have now converted to SAGE the script that (tries to) extend aliquot sequences. Th
