I just detected, that det() is not working on complex matrices any more, due to the fix to the bug reports noted above. I am not happy with this, as determinants are perfectly usable on complex matrices.
AFAIUI the bugs resulted from less than optimal behaviour of qr() in certain cases. IMHO this is due to the unhappy decision to use a default for parameter tol to decide whether the the decomposition is rank deficient. A better fix for (PR#1244) should be considered. I propose, using qr method with tol=0 as default, for det(). Even more preferrable, tol=0 can be made the default for qr(), forcing all applications to set a reasonable tol for their own. wbk -- Dipl.-Math.
