Comment (by fwclarke):

 The reason this takes for ever is that Sage is trying to create the
 infinite vector
 {{{
 (0.000000000000000, 1.00000000000000, -1.00000000000000,
 0.500000000000000, -0.500000000000000, 2.00000000000000,
 -2.00000000000000, 0.333333333333333, -0.333333333333333,
 3.00000000000000, -3.00000000000000, 0.666666666666667,
 -0.666666666666667, 1.50000000000000, ... )
 }}}
 whose entries are an enumeration of the rationals.  It's line 504 of
 `sage/structure/sequence.py` (sage-5.3):
 {{{
             x = [universe(t) for t in x]
 }}}
 in which `universe` is `RR` and `x` is `QQ`, that's hanging.

 An initial segment of this vector can created as
 {{{
 sage: vector(RR, QQ.range_by_height(3))
 (0.000000000000000, 1.00000000000000, -1.00000000000000,
 0.500000000000000, -0.500000000000000, 2.00000000000000,
 -2.00000000000000)
 }}}
