What about the other bug (the eigenvalue problem), linked from the
same thread I mentioned?

I copied the (wrong) results from Mathematica 6 here:


In[1]:= mat = {{-6, 0, -Sqrt[3], 0, 0, Sqrt[3], 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    0}, {0, -6, 0, -Sqrt[3], 0, 0, Sqrt[3], 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0,
    0}, {-Sqrt[3], 0, -4, 2 (-1/(4 Sqrt[3]) + (3 Sqrt[3])/4),
    2 Sqrt[2/3], 0, 0, Sqrt[3], 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, -Sqrt[3],
    2 (-1/(4 Sqrt[3]) + (3 Sqrt[3])/4), -4/3, -(2 Sqrt[2])/3, 0, 0, 0,
     Sqrt[3], 0, 0, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 0, 2 Sqrt[2/3], -(2 Sqrt[2])/3, 7/3,
     0, 0, 0, 0, Sqrt[3], 0, 0, 0, 0}, {Sqrt[3], 0, 0, 0, 0, -4, 0,

In[2]:= mat === Conjugate@Transpose[mat]
Out[2]= True

(mat is Hermitian so we expect real eigenvalues.)

In[3]:= N@Eigenvalues[mat]

Out[3]= {-9.41358 + 0.88758 I, -9.41358 - 0.88758 I, -7.37965 +
  2.32729 I, -7.37965 - 2.32729 I, -4.46655 + 2.59738 I, -4.46655 -

 2.04366- 0.552265 I, -0.249588 + 1.29034 I, -0.249588 - 1.29034 I}

Out[4]= {-9.09122, -7.41855, -7.41855, -7.2915, 4.33734, -4., -4., \
