Well, here the underlying LAPACK routine was changed to the newer and
significantly faster divide-and-conquer routine. (Same holds for
complex version.) This could be the problem, which you should test.
See LAPACK documentation for details.

Nevertheless I would advise against reversing that change, as
performance diffferences can really be large (although I haven't used
either one of these specific functions here). Maybe you can keep a
copy of the old version in your own project if really necessary?
(After all there seems to be some agreement that you were just "lucky"
to find a working algorithm in the first place.)

Greetings,
Jochen
