Hi:
Either a bug in combinat.py's permutations, or an indication that
it needs to be rewritten. (permutations is a GAP wrapper which
I might have written, so should probably fix ...)

sage: MS = MatrixSpace(QQ,2,2)
sage: A = MS([1,2,3,4])
sage: permutations(A.rows())
[[(3, 4), (1, 2)], [(1, 2), (3, 4)]]
sage:
sage: MS = MatrixSpace(GF(2),2,2)
sage: A = MS([1,2,3,4])
sage: permutations(A.rows())
