----------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAHOUT-461
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-461
             Project: Mahout
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Math
            Reporter: Grant Ingersoll
            Priority: Minor


I ran /mahout svd -Dmapred.input.dir=/tmp/solr-clust-n2/part-out.vec --tempDir 
/tmp/solr-clust-n2/svdTemp --rank 200 --numCols 62072 --numRows  130103

and got
