#627: linalg.svd takes 100% CPU and never ends

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When I call the svd function with an array it takes 100% of my CPU and
 never actually finishes the calculation. Python needs to get killed
 manually (Ctrl+C doesn't work as usually).

 I've tested that on:
 Linux:
 Linux kacper 2.6.22.10_laptop-0.6 #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Oct 21 17:48:51 CEST
 2007 i686 Intel(R)_Pentium(R)_M_processor_1.70GHz PLD Linux
 python-2.5.1-4.i686
 python-numpy-1.0.4-1.i686
 (I've tried with earlier 1.0.3.1 as well)

 Windows:
 i686
 python-2.5
 python-numpy-1.0.4

 I've used two scripts found on the net (google with 'svd python') and both
 behave in exactly the same way
