Uhm, the generic RS decoder should try all
the possible combination of erasure and so
detect the error.
This is unfeasible already with 3 parities,
so there are faster algorithms, I believe:

Peterson–Gorenstein–Zierler algorithm
Berlekamp–Massey algorithm

Nevertheless, I do not know too much about
those, so I cannot state if they apply to
the Cauchy matrix as explained here.
