in LinearAlgebra Eigenvectors calculation.

Maple 2015 Error

 

 

So the above output startled me.  I have used the Maple Linear Algebra Eigenvalues, Eigenvectors commands many times with no problem.  Can any one explain to me what is going on.  The program correctly calculates the eigenvalues for the matrix which are all distinct for a real symmetric matrix, and thus should have three distinct non-zero eigenvectors, yet the eigenvectore command returns only zeros for the eigenvectors.  I calculated an eigenvector by hand corresponding to the eigenvalue of 1 and obtained (1, -sqrt(2)/sqrt(3), -1/sqrt(3).

 

So this is either a serious bug or I am going completely insane.
