i've just recently looked at this PR but haven't had much time to look 
into it.  oddly, i found that the initialization of the field is ok if you 
declare a variable of type fgsl_matrix; it only appears to ICE if you 
declare the return type of a function to fgsl_matrix and try initializing 
it (as is done in the given test case).

thanks.
