numpy.linalg.eigvals(matrix)This works with small matrices, say 5 x 5, but
causes python to crash on largermatrices, say 136 x 136, which is not really
very large.

(from .exe installer)When running from either the command line or the Pythonwin
IDE, python.execrashes. The info in the microsoft error reporting thingy is:

linalg.py using Pythonwin, I get as far as line 418 (in theeigvals function):

python.exe crashes.That's the extent of my troubleshooting skills at this stage.
I haven't workedout if there is a specific matrix size where this starts
occurring. Where to now?

Ithought it would mess up the list if I posted it here.

Xeon 5150 in Dell 490.

I've also tried it on a couple of other boxes with different hardware since my
first post, but don't have the details in front of me.

Might try a compile from source on a unix box tomorrow, unless someone comes up
with a solution before then.
