R help - Apr 2000 - eigen bug?

Sorry if this bug is fixed in the meantime, but what is this??
> m
     [,1] [,2] [,3]
[1,]    1    2    1
[2,]    0    2    0
[3,]    1    2    1
> eigen(m)
$values
[1] 2 2 0

$vectors
              [,1]      [,2]       [,3]
[1,] -4.194304e+06 0.7071068 -0.7071068
[2,] -4.656613e-10 0.0000000  0.0000000
[3,] -4.194304e+06 0.7071068  0.7071068
> eigen(m, symmetric=T)
$values
[1]  3.709275  1.193937 -0.903212

$vectors
          [,1]       [,2]       [,3]
[1,] 0.2331920  0.8876503 -0.3971125
[2,] 0.7392387 -0.4271323 -0.5206574
[3,] 0.6317813  0.1721479  0.7557893

As far as I can see, m is symmetric. Why do these two  not coincide?
(The first is correct.)

Best regards,
Christian

Look closer... 

(and try calculating   m - t(m)  if you still cannot see)
