Looks like a sorting error, the eigen values should be sorted. So it looks
like a buggy test from here. Having an imaginary part to the eigenvalues
returned by a routine that is supposed to process Hermitean matrices doesn't
look right, but the errors are in the double precision range, which is
pretty good for float32.

I think we need a ticket to fix those tests.
