bnf bug |
Hi, I've discovered a bizarre bug introduced in 2.0.12.alpha Here's the session (2.0.13.alpha is used): % gp -q -f -s 32000000 ? f(t)=bnfclgp(x^3-t*x^2-(t+3)*x-1) ? for(k=511,521,f(k)) ? # timer = 1 (on) ? a=f(522) time = 1,510 ms. [468, [78, 6], [[127, 59, 75; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1], [23, 16, 20; 0, 1, 0; 0, 0, 1]]] ? b=f(522); time = 3mn, 17,330 ms. ? a==b time = 0 ms. 0 Note that f(522) produces 2 different outputs. Which one is correct? My guess is the second one is correct. The timing was measured on Ultra-60, so it should take at least twice as long on a regular PC with Linux. Thanks Igor
