Comment(by shin):

 (* first comment ever)

 Works fine on snow leopard 10.6.6.

 But I'm not sure I understand. Sure, the "rank" should be returned as 2,
 but if I ask for the generators - shouldn't we get the generators of the
 torsion as well?
 I'm simply thinking of consistency with other groups such as unit groups.
 The rank of the unit group of the cyclotomic field QQ(\zeta_5) is 1, but
 there are two generators (and sage does return 2).
