Description fork 2012-03-12 02:30:11 UTC 
The latest lapack has a bug in the way it handles something related to singular value decomposition (SVD).   A LOT of algorithms depend on SVD lapack downstream, so this is pretty important to fix.  Especially as it impacts my dissertation code ;)  

Here is the Lapack bug (they might understate its importance):

Thanks!

How-To-Repeat: I encounter the problem in Octave.  So... run octave, and you get the following.  You should NOT see an error in line #2:

1> aa = rand(2,4)
a =

   0.67848   0.87562   0.32506   0.53669
   0.42031   0.70204   0.37300   0.34772

2> svd(a)
 ** On entry to DORGLQ parameter number  5 had an illegal value
error: svd: exception encountered in Fortran subroutine dgesvd_
