Of course. It's on my TODO list.

Some are certainly due to the PARI upgrade.

Many doctest failures are because of PARI warning messages which cannot 
be disabled in vanilla PARI. You need to apply this patch to fix them:

But I also see many segmentation faults because of Singular, unrelated 
to PARI.
