 The following code leads to about a one minute hang for me (reproducibly
 in a fresh session).  Keshav Kini (via IRC) had the same experience.

 {{{
 sage: A = matrix(QQ, 4, 4, [1, 2, -2, 2, 1, 0, -1, -1, 0, -1, 1, 1, -1, 2,
 1/2, 0])
 sage: e = A.eigenvalues()[3]
 sage: K = (A-e).kernel()
 sage: P = K.basis_matrix()
 sage: x = P.list()[3]
 sage: hash(x)
 sage: remap = {}
 sage: remap.has_key(x)
 }}}

 This behavior hangs the creation of a string version of a matrix.  If you
 comment-out {{{sage/matrix/matrix0.pyx}}} at lines 1695-1696, the problem
 goes away.  To see the effect, run the first four lines of the code above
 and then just print P, with and without the two lines mentioned.

 I have a workaround in mind that may solve the problem in many cases.
 Root issue is at #11543.
