Looks like there is an issue with:
lsqr

There is mention in vnl_matrix.txx of an algorithm (not code) from  TOMS.


I just greped the vxl source tree for "TOMS":
./core/vnl/algo/vnl_lsqr.h:// of Paige and Saunders (ACM TOMS 583).
The sparse system is encapsulated
./core/vnl/algo/vnl_lsqr.h://  of Paige and Saunders (ACM TOMS 583).
The sparse system is encapsulated
./core/vnl/algo/vnl_rpoly_roots.h://  (See M.A. Jenkins, ACM TOMS 1
(1975) pp. 178-189.).
./core/vnl/vnl_matrix.txx://  Works for rectangular matrices using an
enormously clever algorithm from ACM TOMS.

to become Algorithm 583. */
./v3p/netlib/linalg/lsqr.f:*     22 Feb 1982: LSQR sent to ACM TOMS to
become Algorithm 583.
