Yes!

I've been discussing in private a problem with qrupdate[1] that I've
encountered while packaging Jaroslav's work for Debian.

Briefly, compile qrupdate with the ATLAS implementation of BLAS and
run the tests. Some of the tests fail. Probably a bug in ATLAS?

Since the Debian packaging seems by default to link with ATLAS, it
would be nice to know if we're using a buggy implementation of BLAS
for shipping Octave.

Note that the apparent bug happens with the newer rank-1 updates that
got added in version 1.1.1.
