Comment (by SimonKing):

 I have changed my operating system from openSUSE 12.3 32bit to openSUSE
 13.2 64bit. Doing so, I found that one doctest depended on the bits. So, I
 fixed that.

 Also, I found one crash, and it is astounding that it did not occur
 before: When I put a term on the kill list, I dereference the coefficient.
 When I remove the kill list (which happens when Sage quits) then I
 dereferenced the coefficient *again*. That's of course wrong, and
 corrected in the second commit.

 Something else: While the change from 32bit to 64bit did not make
 letterplace faster, the timings for my implementation improved by as much
 as 20%! So, I am looking forward to my applications `:-)`.

 Concerning timings: Is it ok to include timings into the docs? After all,
 they are on a particular machine etc. Is there a policy? If so, I could
 remove the corresponding parts from `sage.quivers.algebra_elements`.
