Try out the unstable version, e.g 2.2.7 or a CVS snapshot from

  http://pari.math.u-bordeaux.fr/CVS.html

The bug is probably gone there. (At least, I tried to fix it some time ago,
and it worked for me.) Since the fix involves wrecking the Sparc inline
assembler kernel in a non-trivial way, it won't be backported to the stable
branch.

Hope this helps,
