Hello again ! This is in addition to my message earlier. I forgot to say (maybe the most important part of my message) that the eigenvalues Mathematica 5.0 calculates, are the correct eigenvalues when the notebook is ran at a AMD Athlon 1200 MHz or AMD Duron 800 MHz PC and not on a Pentium4 2,6 GHz stand-alone machine and a Pentium4 3,06 HT notebook !! So: Mathematica 5.0 produces only the right solutions of Eigensystem when you don't use a Pentium 4 processor ???
