Different problem. When computing a (proven) lower bound for the regulator,
there's an exhaustive enumeration of lattice vectors, which can be very
costly. The stable branch includes a cut-off point to avoid wasting too much
time in Fincke-Pohst algorithm.

I had removed that cut-off since I mistakenly thought it was there to avoid
storage problems, which I had fixed. I have put it back, together with a
small comment.
