 I don't know if this would ever finish, but it probably shouldn't stop
 with the following error! (this is in sage-4.0.2 on sage.math):

 It might be better to use xrange, or say that the rank is too big, so the
 computation would never finish or something meaningful.

 On 32-bit it fails in the same place but with a ''different'' error:
 {{{
 ...
 TypeError: range() integer start argument expected, got
 sage.rings.integer.Integer.
 }}}
