Public bug reported:

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 with libblas3gf 1.2-8.
In Octave, the following code:
    eig( rand( 3 ) )
causes crash with message "Illegal instruction". Expected behaviour: it should 
calculate eigenvalues of a random matrix.
gdb shows that libblas crashed:
===
Program received signal SIGILL, Illegal instruction.
0x0244890c in ATL_diamax_xp1yp0aXbX () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf
(gdb) where
#0  0x0244890c in ATL_diamax_xp1yp0aXbX () from /usr/lib/libblas.so.3gf
#1  0x00000000 in ?? ()
===

My processor has no SSE2 support: (lines from /proc/cpuinfo)
