octave or atlas bug?

[Eric Chassande-Mottin]

hi,

i get weird and annoying panic errors on my laptop when running the
following commands :

octave2.1:1> 1/ones(5,1)
panic: Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...

octave2.1:1> svd(hilb(3))
panic: Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...

octave2.1:1> which svd
svd is the dynamically-linked function from the file
/usr/lib/octave/2.1.35/oct/i386-pc-linux-gnu/svd.oct

octave2.1:1> rank(hilb(3))
panic: Illegal instruction -- stopping myself...

octave2.1:2> which rank
rank is the user-defined function from the file
/usr/share/octave/2.1.35/m/linear-algebra/rank.m

i have Debian woody 3.1 (stable) installed
and since i have a CPU: AMD-K6(tm) 3D processor stepping 0c
i installed atlas2-3dnow

i could not reproduce these errors on a PC with different
CPU and not using altas.

any hint? could this come from atlas lib?

é.
