Thank you for the report,

We'd usually want to see an exactly reproducible example, i.e.

     x <- ......
     eigen (x)

but see below

    sharon> I'm running the following R version:

    sharon> platform sparc-sun-solaris2.6
    sharon> arch     sparc               
    sharon> os       solaris2.6          
    sharon> system   sparc, solaris2.6   
    sharon> status   Patched             
    sharon> major    0                   
    sharon> minor    99.0                
    sharon> year     2000                
    sharon> month    February            
    sharon> day      9                   
    sharon> language R         

Note that this is not even a released version of R (notice
"Patched"); it is pre version of R 1.0.0,
and nowadays you should not work anymore with R versions <= 0.99
(which BDR calls "beta").

Get 1.1(.0) from any CRAN site!
