*> \par Purpose:
*  =============
*>
*> \verbatim
*>
*>
*> SLA_PORPVGRW computes the reciprocal pivot growth factor
*> norm(A)/norm(U). The "max absolute element" norm is used. If this is
*> much less than 1, the stability of the LU factorization of the
*> (equilibrated) matrix A could be poor. This also means that the
*> solution X, estimated condition numbers, and error bounds could be
*> unreliable.
*> \endverbatim
*
*  Arguments:
*  ==========
*
*> \param[in] UPLO
*> \verbatim
*>          UPLO is CHARACTER*1
*>       = 'U':  Upper triangle of A is stored;
*>       = 'L':  Lower triangle of A is stored.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] NCOLS
*> \verbatim
*>          NCOLS is INTEGER
*>     The number of columns of the matrix A. NCOLS >= 0.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] A
*> \verbatim
*>          A is REAL array, dimension (LDA,N)
*>     On entry, the N-by-N matrix A.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LDA
*> \verbatim
*>          LDA is INTEGER
*>     The leading dimension of the array A.  LDA >= max(1,N).
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] AF
*> \verbatim
*>          AF is REAL array, dimension (LDAF,N)
*>     The triangular factor U or L from the Cholesky factorization
*>     A = U**T*U or A = L*L**T, as computed by SPOTRF.
*> \endverbatim
*>
*> \param[in] LDAF
*> \verbatim
*>          LDAF is INTEGER
*>     The leading dimension of the array AF.  LDAF >= max(1,N).

*
*     Compute the *inverse* of the max element growth factor.  Dividing
*     by zero would imply the largest entry of the factor's column is
*     zero.  Than can happen when either the column of A is zero or
*     massive pivots made the factor underflow to zero.  Neither counts
*     as growth in itself, so simply ignore terms with zero
*     denominators.
