Package: arpack
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi,
on the GNU Octave mailing list, the following issue was noted. It seems
that for some inputs, ARPACK causes a segfault in Octave.
The issue was first noted in 2006[1]. A patch was sent to ARPACK
upstream, but there never was an answer.
The issue came up again last year[2].
So, I'm asking you include the attached patch in ARPACK. A test program
(segtest.m) for Octave is included. It segfaults Octave with current
ARPACK, when called as segtest(100).

BTW, I think there's something wrong with the orig tarball. It seems to
duplicate all source files and directories in a directory ARPACK.
Thanks
Thomas
