Robert,

Just now I have filed two tickets. I hope someone can reproduce my results.

http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/318
http://projects.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/319

I have tried SuperLU on 32 and 64 bit machines - the segfault persists.
I have installed UMFPACK on a 64 bit machine.

Any pointer would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Nils
