Description
The following is from an email of François Brunault:
I got the following error when trying to compute minimal twists in Sage. Here f is the newform attached to the elliptic curve 256a1, and the minimal twist of f has level 64.
Best, François

Thanks for the review! The patchbot seems a bit confused, but I'm sure it'll catch up shortly :-)

Somehow, this sat idle for 3 years despite the fact that the fix is about 2 lines! It turns out that the code relies on the assumption that the trace of the type space down to the minimal level is simple, but if f is of CM type it can be the direct sum of two simple modules of opposite sign.
