This may be more feature than bug. If you break up the latter computation (below), like
t3 = mod(-1,t2) # mod(-1,x) returns x-1
t3.sqrt()
you get a response quickly, but it may not be what you are after.
t3 is 16*t4
but t4 is not prime, and is square-free (I believe Sage implicitly :-}).
Trying to factor it seems interminable (i.e., it hasn’t completed in ~5 minutes on my new iMac). It may well be beyond the software’s attention span, hence the message you got.
