In Sage-2.11, jordan_form seems to crash on nilpotent matrices. For
example:
sage: nil = matrix(QQ,2,2,[[0,1],[0,0]])
sage: nil.jordan_form()
gives:
Traceback (most recent call last):

matrix/constructor.py", line 776, in block_matrix
big.subdivide(running_total(row_heights[:-1]),

I need this for an example in a class tomorrow, if anyone knows a work-
around it would be much appreciated.
