Thanks, Dan. I'll give that a try. I had figured that was probably the case - but had no way to efficiently figure out what had gotten chomped on by the crash, as I'm very far from a Python guru. Brian -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this

My first guess for #9046 is that the problem is located within the last line of collect : return x + (*this-x).expand(); In that case (*this-x).expand() should be zero but looks like: -x^2 - 2*y^3 - y^2*z + x^2 + 2*y^3 + y^2*z I think that whithin the call to expand(), expairseq::combine_same_terms

Hi, Maybe it is a good thing to keep the same order as ginac internally and your more usual ordering for printing. However if you'd better not duplicate code, I can look at the "- x^2+x^2" part of bug #9046. Now I may understand a big enough part of pynac code to do that. But if you'd better use t

Ok, I have finally looked at the comparison functions and exchanging : cmpval = seq[0].coeff.compare(other.exponent); by cmpval = -seq[0].coeff.compare(other.exponent); in mul::compare_pow (mul.cpp:1265) seems to prevent the above bug from happening. It seems to fit better with the change made by W
