well -- probably the problem in numpy's linalg.lstsq which uses lapack's
SVD... it is very unlikely that it doesn't converge on reasonable data,
but I guess could happen... so -- do feature by feature and find on
which it gets stuck -- share the data -- lets try with different numpy
versions/lapack builds to see if it is reproducible
