Not an infinite loop, intensive (and almost hopeless) garbage collection.
You're operating in huge dimension and very small space, so that 99.99% of
the running time is spent in desperation GC.

I have reduced memory use for such very sparse matrices, so the above is
fixed. But the same phenomenon is likely to occur again, in larger
dimensions.
