Re: octave-forge lin.alg. kernel/image/span

[Geordie McBain]

To investigate the use of the second, TOL, argument to null, try:

octave> A = [1, 2, 1; 1, 2, 2];
octave> null (A, 0.1)
ans =

   -8.9443e-01
    4.4721e-01
   -6.0501e-16

octave> null (A, 1)
ans =

   -2.5510e-01   -8.9443e-01
   -5.1021e-01    4.4721e-01
    8.2134e-01   -6.0501e-16

octave> null (A, 10)
ans =

   -3.6732e-01   -2.5510e-01   -8.9443e-01
   -7.3463e-01   -5.1021e-01    4.4721e-01
   -5.7043e-01    8.2134e-01   -6.0501e-16

I don't know about the `don't orthogonalize' parameter.
