 CHETRF computes the factorization of a complex Hermitian matrix A
 using the Bunch-Kaufman diagonal pivoting method\&.  The form of the
 factorization is

    A = U*D*U**H  or  A = L*D*L**H

 where U (or L) is a product of permutation and unit upper (lower)
 triangular matrices, and D is Hermitian and block diagonal with
 1-by-1 and 2-by-2 diagonal blocks\&.

 This is the blocked version of the algorithm, calling Level 3 BLAS\&.

                has been completed, but the block diagonal matrix D is
                exactly singular, and division by zero will occur if it
                is used to solve a system of equations\&.
