Notes
This is a structurally singular matrix that triggers a bug in the   
2-by-2 pivoting strategy in UMFPACK versions 4.1 through 5.3.       
The bug thus exists in MATLAB R2006b through R2009a.  It was        
fixed in UMFPACK 5.4 and MATLAB R2009b.  Contributed by Pat Quillen,
The MathWorks, Inc.  The sprank(A) and rank(A) are 2140.
