Dear sage-supporters, sometimes, when a Singular object is printed, only the name but not the content is shown. In an example that David Joyner pointed me at, the output is x(1)^7*x(2)-x(1)*x(2)^7,sage4[1,2],sage4[1,3] but it should be x(1)^7*x(2)-x(1)*x(2)^7, x(1)^12-2*x(1)^9*x(2)^3-

I'm not quite sure where to post this but I happened upon a strange result. I was using sage to check my work when solving roots of a polynomial mod 3^k. For mod 9 it is is not giving all the roots, yet for the other powers I checked (up to 4) the results were correct. I am using version 2.8.9
