A typo. Net result: first ideal in FB (= factorbase) was always skipped when
looking for random relations.

I ended up modifying more than this before noticing the problem, but for the
better I think: when building the subFB, one often stumbles upon free 
relations. They were simply discarded up to now [ in fact, not even noticed ].
I made sure these are recorded.
