Difference in calculations between Matlab and Scilab

[Sébastien Bihorel]

Hi

I would be interested knowing why Scilab (version beta 5.2) and Matlab
(7.6.0) do not provide the same results for a '1/x' calculation (with x
being a matrix of real numbers), and how to reproduce the results of Matlab
in Scilab for this particular case.

Thank you

Sebastien
