cond and the Hilbert matrix

[George Talusan]

Hi everyone,

I'm not sure if this is the proper forum for such a question,
but here goes..

I recently installed octave (i.e., this morning) and defined
the Hilbert matrix as such: h3=[1/1 1/2 1/3; 1/2 1/3 1/4 ; 1/3 1/4 1/5];

To get the condition number, I performed cond(h3) which resulted
in octave not producing any output.  It looks like when cond
calls svd it just sits there.

I'm running octave 2.0.16.
