I'm using sage 4.6.1 (release data 2011-01-11) on Linux. When I tried to divide a vector of ~10000 elements by a scalar, it ran out of system memory and crashed. code:
n = 10000 v = vector([0]*n) # ok so far v2 = v/1 # kaboom I repeated this process for increasing values of n starting at 100 and monitored memory usage and noticed that the memory used increases in a rapid, nonlinear fashion. It's not used when constructing the list or vector, only when the division occurs. There's nothing magic about the exact value of n, but I have ~1GB ram and with my typical system load, it crashed on me usually near n=9127. Also, i noticed that memory was not freed up after "del v" or "del v2". I tried with other scalar rings as well (such as Zmod(p^k) for various p,k) and no difference. If someone can post a quick fix here, I would like to patch my system.
