You're absolutely right!  This *sucks* -- it seems like nothing we
have ever wrapped in Linbox is right at first.  Hopefully the issue is
that somehow the algorithm is only supposed to be probabilistic, and
we're just misusing it in sage (quite possible).

Anyway, Clement Pernet will be at Sage Days next week, and we'll sort this out.
Many thanks for brining this to our attention!
