Dear Eric,

> Can you reproduce the problem, or is it related to my installation?

yes I can. It appears it is not so easy to detect a wrong value of N early.
Indeed, in the square root, we divide N by prime factors dividing the leading
coefficient of one of the two polynomials, and we also do trial division up
to 1000000. If we want to detect a wrong value of N early, we would need to
import all that logic in the cado_poly_getm function. I'm not sure we want to
do that.

Best regards,
Paul
