Dear Michael,

thank you for your nice feedback. I'd happily try to fix these bugs,
although I probably need some assistance to track them down. I'll reply
to both bugs in individual posts; first this one:

This assertion should only be reached when you used negative increments
for a submatrix index; do you really use negative increments? I would
certainly agree that several functions have never been tested with
negative increments, only with positive ones, so there can very well be
a bug in there. The assertion is perfectly valid and if it fails then it
means that probably somewhere else some code is wrong if the increments
are negative (instead of positive). Could you submit a code snippet that
 crashes with that assertion? Thanks.

Christian
