It is the result code of the LAPACK routine dgesvd that is called in 
the line before the crash. -13 means that argument number 13 has an 
illegal value. Argument number 13 is the size of the workspace array.

Since the size of the workspace array is calculated exactly using the 
formula that LAPACK specifies for the minimal size, there are basically 
two possibilities:

1) Your version of LAPACK is different from mine (possible, there have 
been updates, which may or may not maintain compatibility). This is 
relevant only if you have installed the full Python LAPACK interface. 
Otherwise you are using the subset that comes with MMTK, which uses a 
subset of CLAPACK.

2) Data type sizes are sufficiently different in the 64-bit Linux that 
parameter passing to Fortran routines needs to be adapted.

The second case sounds more likely, as I have never heard of 
LAPACK-related issues before. Do you know what sizes (in bits) the 
various C data types have on your machine?

Konrad.
