DESCRIPTION
This routine checks that two vectors have the same length. If they do
not,then the an error message is set and ERROR is returned. The argument
context_str can be used to add more information; typically, it is the name of
the calling routine, but it could be some other string which works well as
the sequal to the message "failed in". If context_str is NULL, then it is
not used.
RETURNS
NO_ERROR if the matrices have the same dimensions, and ERROR otherwise.
Depending on the bug handler in place, this routine may not return at all.
MACROS
If different vector lengths are likely due to a bug, then you may want to
wrap this routine in the macro ESBRE(), which prints the error, calls
set_bug(), (the "SB"), and then returns ERROR. If different vector
lengths are simply an error that the calling routine should deal with,
then wrapping the call to this routine in ERE() saves typing.
DISCLAIMER
This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that
results are checked independantly where appropriate.
