In sage 9.2 & 9.0 deepcopying the lift_map from a residue field at a prime does not finish because of recursion error
sage: R.<x> = ZZ[]
sage: f = x^2-2
sage: K.<a> = NumberField(f)
sage: P = K(2).factor()[0][0]
sage: F = K.residue_field(P)
sage: m = F.lift_map()
sage: deepcopy(m)
gives

RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded in comparison
and doing the following causes a segfault and crashes Sage
sage: sys.setrecursionlimit(2**30)
sage: deepcopy(m)
{{{
}}}
I don't think the
deepcopyprotocol is implemented for Sage objects. Most Sage objects are immutable.
