After some digging -- and a fortuitous control-C at the right moment -- it looks like it's trying to construct the basis for the ambient free module. This will be a list of 10^4 vectors, each 10^4 elements long, so it's not surprising it takes a lot of memory.. adding a print statement in the loop in FreeModule_ambient.basis seems to confirm that's the issue.
Unfortunately suggesting how to get around this requires a deeper understanding of Sage internals than I have. :-/ Doug -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
