Correct. 

In principle the matrix should be symmetric. 

When -matrix- looked at it in your case it decided 
that it was, and in my case that it wasn't. 

Why one executable differs from another in this respect
I don't know. I am using Stata/SE for Windows born 
6 October 2004. 

I am clear that this discrepancy arises with -matrix 
list- which is not my code, but part of the executable.
