The following code :

f(x)=(x^x-sin(x)^sin(x))/(x^3*log(x))
show(f)
f(x).limit(x=0)

causes Sage to crash [the expected output is 1/6].

My desktop Sage installation gives the following error message :

;;;
;;; Detected access to protected memory, also kwown as 'bus or segmentation fault'.
;;; Jumping to the outermost toplevel prompt
;;;

The online Sage notebook tells me :

;;;
;;; Binding stack overflow.
;;; Jumping to the outermost top

What is wrong ?

This is a bug. I can reproduce this on sage-5.10.beta5 on a GNU/Linux x86_64. On another machine, i can reproduce it on sage-5.0 but not on sage-4.8. This has been reported at trac ticket 14677.
