Intel Math Kernel Library "FATAL ERROR"

I found that the NumPy regression test error for MKL that was reported a while ago happens with MKL 10.0.3.020, but not with MKL 10.0.1.014 (everything else equal) Here is a dump of the regression test on my machine with 10.0.3.020

It is more likely a bug in the MKL. Please update to a more recent version, or downgrade to a version which works. David

Yes, I downgraded from 10.0.3.020 to 10.0.1.014, and then the test worked. Since 10.0.3.020 is the newest version, perhaps it should be reported to Intel to prevent it from appearing in coming versions? (If it is actually a bug in MKL) On Sat, 2008-07-12 at 16:31 +0200, David Cournapeau wrote:
