[SciPy-Dev] arpack failures 64-bit

[Ralf Gommers]

Arpack test failures have been reported by several people, all on 64 bit. On
32-bit it's fine.

======================================================================
ERROR: test_nonsymmetric_modes (test_arpack.TestEigenNonSymmetric)

For the full list of errors see
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.scientific.devel/13706/match=arpack(on
OS X).
Similar report on Linux:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.scientific.devel/8551
This seems also related: http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/ticket/725.

Does anyone have time to look at this soon? If not, can I mark them as
knownfail for 0.8.0?

Thanks,
Ralf
