Subject: Potentially serious bug in Matlab R2009b

There seems to be a serious bug in the current Matlab release R2009b that
occurs when solving a linear system of equations with the transpose. Here
is a small example:

A=[ 0 2 ; 1 0 ];
b=[ 2 ; 0 ];
A'\b

ans =

0
1

whereas the correct solution is [ 0 ; 2 ]. The answer [ 0 ; 1 ] is the
solution of A\b, so it appears that the transpose sign ' is ignored.
However, the correct solution is returned when using

transpose(A)\b, A.'\b

instead of A'\b.

Interestingly, this bug does not occur for all matrices, for instance

A = [1 2 ; 1 1]
A'\b

returns the correct result [ -2 ; 4 ].

The bug seems to be new in release R2009b and applies to Linux and Windows
32 and 64 bit versions. A bug report has been filed.
