[plt-scheme] Re: A segmentation fault on OS X Intel

Noel,

I've added your code to the test suite, and it runs just fine
(repeatedly) on my machine (Mac OS X 10.4, PPC).  If
matrix-f64vector-mul works fine on your machine, then I have a guess
as to the problem: check the values of the enum for _cblas-transpose
(defined in blas-lapack.ss) against their corresponding values in the
BLAS headers.  Unlike matrix-f64vector-mul, f64vector-matrix-mul uses
the transpose flag to BLAS when doing the multiplication.  Otherwise
the routines are the same.

Let me know if this doesn't work---and I'll have another look at the code.
