Calling .echelonize on a rational matrix, I received:

(sage/matrix/matrix_integer_dense.c:28752)
RuntimeError: Bug in _rational_echelon_via_solve in finding linearly
independent rows.

When I re-ran it, everything worked.... Looking at the source code, it
appears to be using a random algorithm, that has 50 tries at something
before bailing out with the above error.

I am impressed at how fast this code is, but I'm a bit worried now
about using this in "production" code.... Could the code be patched so
that instead of bailing out with an error, a slow non-random method
was used instead? (I don't feel competent myself to make such a
change...)
