Summary 0000147: FIXED: incorrect handling of near-undeflow/subnormals in GenerateReflection()
Description From: Bela Ujhazi

> I'm a bit stucked up with the SVD lib in ALGLIB,
> I used it for some matrices before, but now I've
> had to use it for some bigger ones (one is
> approx. 3000*10000, second is 950*4500) and the
> results were not satisfying. All the values in
> the 2 mentioned matrices were '1.#QNAN' unlike
> from the little ones (700*1300 was the biggest)
> I tried before.

 Looks like this error is caused by bug in the GenerateReflection() subroutine - it does not correctly handle subnormalized input vectors.

This bug is not specific to the SVD lib - it can be found almost in any subroutine which relies on GenerateReflection(). There are two ways to trigger this bug:
1. you can trigger it with a very large degenerate matrix
2. or you can trigger it with a moderate size matrix with near-underflow or subnormal elements

Now investigating possible workarounds....

 Fixed. Separate release will be issued for this patch in 5 days.
