Comment(by rbeezer):

 Replying to [comment:14 slabbe]:
 > So, does this means it is beyond Sage? I mean, should a fix be made in
 Sage or should it be done upstream?

 Its beyond me, as in - its beyond my knowledge.

 I do not think the true source of the error has been located.  It is not
 Sage library code.  It appears in numpy, which wraps the LAPACK function
 ZGESDD.  But I do not understand the relationships between LAPACK, ATLAS
 and BLAS, and especially on the Mac.  Palmieri says ATLAS on the mac is
 "system supplied."  It still could be the Sage build that does something
 wrong.

 So somebody else is going to have to carry this one forward.  Samuel has
 some ideas.
