I also get the same result with different compilers (gcc 2.7.2.3 and
egcs-2.91.57) Note BTW that it *fails* the
consistency test from the example file

- whereas the older version did

[0.63.4 in progress (March 9, 1999) on my office machine]

The test on symmetric matrices does not fail, though. (Make check
would have caught this, save for the m<-m+t(m) line...)

Most likely, we're being bitten  either by a code 'cleanup' or some
sort of change in the linked libraries.
