Dear Anvita,
This looks like a bug at the very least in the sense that a better error
message should be produced.
M is constructed here in a compressed form, and I am not sure it is possible to
transpose a matrix destructively in that form.
On the other hand, this form is quite space efficient, so making a copy with
TransposedMat and then letting the garbage collector get rid of the old copy
shouldn’t be too bad. In particular it probably uses less memory that
converting the matrix to a different form and then transposing it.
