| I had some similar problems with LAPACK 3.4.0 and ATLAS, but all is
| well with LAPACK 3.4.1.

OK, I seem to be using the Debian package of liblapack-dev 3.4.1-5 and
libatlas3gf-base 3.8.4-7.

Also, I don't see any direct calls to these functions in Octave.  It
looks like DORGLQ is called when we call DGESVD.  It's possible that
we are triggering the problem by calling DGESVD incorrectly, but if
you are seeing this problem, I'd bet that it is more likely a problem
with your LAPACK library.
