[Rd] eigen in beta

[Prof Brian Ripley]

We are only aware of better behaviour from LAPACK 3.1 (which is what I 
suppose you are talking about, that is R compiled with its internal 
LAPACK).

But in at least one case that means finding a complex set of eigenvalues 
where previously a real one was found.
