elltors(e): torsion subgroup of elliptic curve e: order, structure, generators
---
where PARI reports both that a point $p$ on the elliptic curve $e$ has
order $6$, and that the torsion subgroup of $e$ has order $2$.

It might be interesting for users to check the extent of this strange case
of $6$ dividing $2$.
