Hi All,

Perhaps someone can help me figure this out.  I am trying to create an
elementary abelian subgroup of a symmetric group and then look at its
normalizer.  Here's what doesn't work:

    s6 = SymmetricGroup(6)

    c1 = s6([(1,2)])
    c2 = s6([(3,4)])
    c3 = s6([(5,6)])

    e8 = s6.subgroup([c1,c2,c3])
    print e8.order()

    n = s6.normalizer(e8)

It's good through printing the order of "e8".  Then the horrible
traceback which
follows.

Many thanks,
- Hy
