Comment(by spancratz):

 Craig:  the approach you suggest does not seem to work out quite as
 nicely, since the ``randomize`` method accepts two parameters
 ``num_bound`` and ``den_bound``, which are accept by the rational field
 but *not* by the cyclotomic field.  A way around this problem is to
 generate the cyclotomic numbers ourselves in the matrix method, as a
 sequence of rationals of length the degree of the field extension.  I'll
 write that now.

 Sebastian
