Details:

If I create a complex matrix, A, as follows
A = [1+.1j,1e-5+100j;-5-2j,-1-j]

and then calculate the inverse by calling inv(A), the incorrect result of

inv(A) = [.00241-.00103i, .172+.0689i; .0000079-.00997i, -.00086+.00165i].

I believe the answer should be

inv(A) = [-.00103+.00242i, -.172+.0695i; .0000231-.0100i, -.000522-.00179i]

Clearly the answer is in the right direction, but something has gone awry.
