I'm trying to use the combinatorics features in Sage to do some Chern
class calculations. When I run the commands below, I get exceptions
that I don't know how to interpret.

The same calculation in Maple using John Stembridge's SF package
completes successfully using roughly 149 MB and 7.08 s CPU time.

Is this just an issue of memory limitation? If so, can (and how do) I
lift the limitation to access more of the 2 GB I have on the machine
I'm running this on?

code follows:
I'm using Sage 2.8.15 on an i386 Linux platform. I also tried this on
an Intel OS X 10.5 machine with the same result. Also, all the powers
of "f" from 1 to 7 work fine. f^8 and higher powers fail.
-----------------------------------

sage: s=SFASchur(QQ)
sage: f=s([2,1]); f
s[2, 1]
sage: f^8
