 I think we would like the following code to work:

 {{{
 N.<a> = NumberField(x^3+2)
 G = N.unit_group()
 g = G.random_element()
 G.subgroup([g])
 }}}

 But at the moment the last line produces a runtime error
 {{{
 RuntimeError: Gap produced error output
 Error, Variable: 'u1' must have a value
 }}}

 This is currently reproducible on the single cell sage server and sage
 cloud.  It does not seem to depend on the number field in question.

 As far as I can tell, subgroup() is unable to recognise the input as
 elements of the group.
