Michael and Sage-devel, This is happening a lot (see below):

Or we need to build better binaries.

E.g., maybe you're using an older Pentium, and the binary was built for a much newer one. You might try using https://sage.math.washington.edu:8102 for that problem, or building Sage from source, or get a login account on sage.math.washington.edu (ask me) or somewhere else that has Sage preinstalled. > It breaks down in the sense that all the following cells do not evaluate at all. > > Since the worksheet from class has an example with a 500x500 matrix, I > did not expect to have any problems in finding the determinant of a > 100x100.
