Sorry to press the team - but

a) Has anyone got this test to pass on an Intel 64bit system?  If so,
would they mind forwarding the details of their setup?
b) Any suggestions of where to start in debugging the problem?

The following replicates the errors Hanno and I are getting:

python -c 'import scipy.linalg ; scipy.linalg.test()'

Thanks a lot,

Matthew
