Comment(by jason):

 kcrisman: no bug on the intel site.  We changed the zgesdd call to "A", so
 we needed to print out the full matrix to see the last vector.  I think
 you just confirmed that the "problem" is in Lapack.  Or rather, Lapack is
 behaving exactly as the docs say, but the problem is that numpy is
 assuming that the V matrix returned is a unitary matrix.  It is if
 rows>=cols, according to the docs, but if rows<cols, then the return V is
 not stated to be a unitary matrix.
