The polymake domain currently has
vertices: % -> Matrix Integer
This cannot work, since the vertices are not always integers. See my other
post.

depends on the seed, obviously...

Yes. but the developers themselves say that this is at least very time
consuming, if you don't have enough memory on your machine. Well, I guess you
have...
