#12020: major (BLOCKER!) bug probably in matrix_space.py
------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Reporter: was | Owner: jason, was
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: blocker | Milestone: sage-4.8
Component: linear algebra | Keywords:
Work_issues: | Upstream: N/A

Observe this:
{{{
sage: D=DirichletGroup(20);
sage: g=D[7].extend(400); #order 4 character
sage: M=ModularSymbols(g,2,sign=1).cuspidal_subspace()
sage: N=M.new_subspace()
TypeError Traceback (most recent call
last)
/mnt/usb1/scratch/wstein/ref/sage-4.8.alpha2-sage.math.washington.edu-x86_64-Linux/local/lib/python2.6
/site-packages/sage/rings/number_field/number_field.pyc in
_coerce_non_number_field_element_in(self, x)
5399 except (TypeError, AttributeError), msg:
5400 pass
-> 5401 raise TypeError, type(x)
5402
5403 def _coerce_from_str(self, x):
TypeError: <type 'NoneType'>
}}}
Debugging we see that the problem is that this code in matrix_space.py:
{{{
479 if entries is None or entries == 0:
480 if self._copy_zero: # faster to copy than to create a
new one.
481 return self.zero_matrix().__copy__()
482 else:
--> 483 return self.__matrix_class(self, None,
coerce=coerce, copy=copy)
}}}
That None in the last line is then coerced for some reason into a number
field (Cyclotomic Field of order 4 and degree) which makes no sense now...
This page suggests this is a recently introduced bug, since the above
worked fine there: http://ask.sagemath.org/question/147/insufficient-ram-
