I have written a patch with this code - it throws no error message any
more.
http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12021
I have also flagged several doctests in sandpile.py as # long time
patch is in http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/12023
Those were my first tries with hg and creating patches so I would be
grateful if somebody could comment if those submissions and entries
are OK or if I made some serious blunders.
