Re: 3.2.1 release candidate 3

[Alexander Mamonov]

Hi Tatsuro,

The problem with ARPACK + 'clear all' may be related to my particular
build. However, I have observed the same crash in Benjamin's build of
3.2.0 that is on sourceforge.

Benjamin,

If you are preparing a 3.2.1 MinGW binary, could you please check if
you observe this crash?

Regards,
Alex
