François,

Apparently in masking sage-4.4 to revert to 4.3.5 I had neglected to  
mask sage-doc-4.4. I had the wrong sage-doc installed for the test! In  
reverting to 4.3.5 other test failures were due to scipy as you  
indicate and others were due to matplotlib. I now have been able to  
reproduce test results I had previously for 4.3.5. Upon then upgrading  
to 4.4 I have _many_ failures of the "type" indicated in the first post  
of this thread; i.e. of the "type"

*** glibc detected *** /usr/bin/python2.6: corrupted double-linked list:

with an associated backtrace and memory dump. I suppose Christopher  
will observe the same on his amd64.
