Hi Ivo, we had a similar problem some time ago: Mathematica 5.0 seemed not to be able to correctly calculate the eigensystem of complex hermitian matrices with more than 256 dimensions! (Up to 256x256 all worked fine.)

Luckily, the upgrade did it. ;) HTH, Marcus -- Chaos in the midst of chaos isn't funny, but chaos in the midst of order is. -- Steve Martin
