William,

Thanks for pointing out that I was wrong about the lifting problem
and original of this slow behavior.

Rather than just putting in place the solution by lifting to ZZ,
which
you show to be much faster for reasonable size, I hope someone
can profile arithmetic or linear algebra for ZZ/nZZ and figure out
why this determinant is so "dog slow".   Are there too many GCD's
or what is going on?

I hope the original p-adic problem also gets a track rather than
being
lost by my side comment, since there the problem was that a wrong
answer was being returned -- a much more serious issue!

Cheers,

David
