ZGESVD returning wrong singular values when lwork is large

[John_Young]

Hi,

Attached is a test case showing the ZGESVD returning wrong singular values when lwork is large.  The test matrix is an identity matrix so that all singular values should be 1.  If I choose lwork to be the minimum required value specified by the documenation, then I see no issues.  When I query ZGESVD for the optimum lwork using lwork = -1, then the singular values are no longer all 1.  Furthermore, the efficiency of the ZGESVD routine drops drastically.  For some values of lwork, the routine seems to run forever and I have to kill it. 

I'm using MKL 11.3.1 Product Build 20151021 under linux with 8-byte integer default (ILP64 library).  I have observed the same issue under windows as well.  My compile line is

     ifort -i8 -module . test.F90 -L$INTEL_MKL_LIBS -liomp5 -lmkl_intel_ilp64 -lmkl_core -lmkl_intel_thread -lpthread -lm

The output of the test routine is
