Comment (by nbruin):

 Replying to [comment:7 SimonKing]:
 > What is needed to do to finalise your preliminary patch? Adding the
 above example as a doc test would be half cheating, because this used only
 to fail in debug mode. But still, one could include this example and
 comment on it accordingly.

 At first blush it seems this is an upstream bug, so this would only be a
 workaround, not a proper fix. Furthermore, it seems this code seems to
 work in an NDEBUG linbox, so perhaps the test is just overzealous. I
 haven't checked linbox's documentation to see if they declare this input
 illegal.

 Other than that, there already are doctests that test this issue, so a
 comment should be enough documentation for this fix.
