irreducibleCharacteristicSeries segfault

[pzinn]

should probably be fixed, it's annoying:

i1 : R=QQ[x]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing

i2 : I=ideal R

o2 = ideal ()

o2 : Ideal of R

i3 : irreducibleCharacteristicSeries I

oh, is it a factory bug?

[d-torrance]

The segfault is happening in factory, but it's because we're calling a factory function with an empty list. So we should probably check that it's nonempty first.
