Hello,
What's your architecture/platform, compiler & version?
msbdf should never increase or decrease order by more than one, unless
it is reset, so there's something really wrong there. Please post all
lines until previous "msbdf_apply:". Is this coming from
test_extreme_problems? I too bet on a compiler issue.

The algorithms in cblas (at least) become instable when the compiler is
allowed to contract floating-point expressions. This manifests in the

This is the failure I get:
gsl: msbdf.c:1336: ERROR: msbdf_apply too large order change
-- order change -2
This comes from test_extreme_problems, with the "ringmod" problem.
Enabling DEBUG in msbdf.c shows this difference between
-ffp-contract=off and -ffp-contact=fast:

I don't know that region of GSL well enough to understand the
discrepancy between 3.08687e-48 and -8.68549e-36; -6.93678e-59 and
5.60182e-46; or 4.93899e-46 and -1.96797e-42. All of them seem like
floating point noise near zero to me...
