I was hoping to find something a little simpler than that. But
nevermind. I found 3 Fortran test cases from TOMS 569, and test case 1
seems to pass. Hurray!
Not sure if this can be added to maxima or not. Although colnew is
different, it seems that it might be based on TOMS 569, and we
definitely don't have permission to use TOMS algorithms. (I asked the
ACM once. Never got an answer.)
