Description
See near the bottom below. In particular the X.points??
input
should fail gracefully rather than going boom with an eval error. Closing
this ticket does not necessarily mean fixing anything more than making this
fail gracefully.

The first regarding the bound is *probably* related to changes John Cremona made to elliptic curves, and I hope he will comment on them soon. I've made your second bug above trac #

This is already fixed. First, I can't figure out how to replicate any sort of X.points?? problem. For me that works just fine. Also, the questionable eval above in the traceback is as of sage-3.0.1 already wrapped in a try/except block.
