Problem solved. Problems was caused by reading the inverse matrix S_inv the same way as the matrix S, but apparently what has been stored is transpose(S_inv) and not S_inv. Therefore it needs to be read transposed compared to S in order to for S*S_inv to give the Identity matrix.

TODO: Calls from C/C++ are still broken because inside the MaponiA3 algo there is compensation for the fact that Fortran sends it's arrays in column-major order. This must be resolved by  transposeing S_inv before it is passed to MaponiA3 and remove the compensations made there.
