ArgumentError: invalid argument #3 to LAPACK call in gebal!

[tkelman]

Happening occasionally on the buildbots and Travis, I think only since JuliaLang/julia#12217 was merged.

@tkelman Thank you for pointing it out, it looks like logm fails in one of the tests. My guess is that logm produces a matrix containing some NaNs, I'll have a look and try to understand what happens.

I'm getting a similar error, after a call to expm in Julia 0.4.1:
