Bug 1258006

Description of problem: 
When trying to execute the command 'sage', the application crashes. First line of the error message is:-

'Oops, Sage crashed. We do our best to make it stable, but...'


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 
6.5

How reproducible:
Just enter 'sage' at a command prompt.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a terminal.
2. Enter 'sage'
3. Error message then appears after the application has crashed.

Actual results:
*****Error message from terminal*****
