Let's take the complex-vector vett={1, i}
The normalized complex-vector is {1/sqrt(2), i/sqrt(2)}; 
in fact : Conjugate[vett].vett , we get 1.
Now let's take the LinearAlgebra`Orthogonalization` packet and
let's do : Normalize[vett].
We get 1/0 infinity warning......
why???

thank You for Your BIG help.
