Problem with ARPACK?

[Alexander Mamonov]

Well, first the bug must be confirmed by someone else. Maybe it's just
a problem with my particular build. If the problem is there, a new
test should definitely be added.
I have once attended a talk by Cleve Moler (the guy who created
Matlab), and he mentioned, that every bug that is fixed in Matlab
becomes a test in their test suite (the full suite takes days to run).
It would be nice if Octave community adopted this practice.

Regards,
Alex
