New description:

 The error message of the call to random_matrix(QQ, 4, 8, rank=5) is quite
 cryptic.
 It should be easy to check that the rank is greater than min(nrows,ncols)
 and throw a ValueError with a meaningful message.

 A patch, which also fixes a similar small fly in random_subspaces_matrix,
 is attached.
