As reported in [http://ask.sagemath.org/question/26283/computing-
minimum_distance-of-a-code-on-non-prime-fields-fails-sometimes this
question on ask] we have a problem with our finite fields and GAP
{{{
sage: K = GF(16,'a')
sage: a = K.gen()
sage: b = a**2 + a
sage: K(b._gap_())
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
TypeError: unable to coerce from a finite field other than the prime
subfield
}}}
Strangely, it works with `GF(8)`.
