Inconsistent error messages

["Jon Perry" <perry@globalnet.co.uk>]

Why do we have inconsistent error messages? (pari/gp 217).

? sigma(n)
  ***   not an integer argument in an arithmetic function
? fibonacci(n)
  ***   this should be an integer: fibonacci(n)
                                             ^--

Hi,

? bnfcertify(bnfinit(x^2-40!))
  ***   not an integer argument in an arithmetic function

Works in a stable branch

Also

? ideallistarch(nfinit(x),[1,1],0);                       
  ***   bug in GP (Segmentation Fault), please report

Thanks

Igor
