Very peculiar.  I just checked the machine where I compiled the
R-1.7.0 Debian packages for the stable distribution.  During the
Debian package build we do run 'make check' and that succeeded on that
machine.

Now I get the peculiar situation that, with h9 the 9x9 Hilbert matrix,
I can successfully run

svd(h9)
svd(h9, nu = 0)
svd(h9, nv = 0)

but

svd(h9, nu = 0, nv = 0)

fails with the error that you quote.

I compiled these packages with g77-3.0 for the Fortran compiler.  Are
there known problems with that?

On another machine running Debian testing and using the gcc-3.2
compiler suite the tests pass.
