#### D.10.2 `lapack` exceptions

- Any of these functions can return a message of

                <'memory overflow'>

  if it runs out of memory.

- If the input parameters don't meet the specification, they can also return

                <'bad lapack specification'>

- Any unexpected behavior from the `LAPACK` Fortran functions or irregular status returned by them is reported by the message

                <'lapack error'>

  Getting to the bottom of it may require some debugging of the `avram` source code in the file `lapack.c`.
