*
*  Purpose
*  =======
*
*  SLAED6 computes the positive or negative root (closest to the origin)
*  of
*                   z(1)        z(2)        z(3)
*  f(x) =   rho + --------- + ---------- + ---------
*                  d(1)-x      d(2)-x      d(3)-x
*
*  It is assumed that
*
*        if ORGATI = .true. the root is between d(2) and d(3);
*        otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2)
*
*  This routine will be called by SLAED4 when necessary. In most cases,
*  the root sought is the smallest in magnitude, though it might not be
*  in some extremely rare situations.
*
*  Arguments
*  =========
*
*  KNITER       (input) INTEGER
*               Refer to SLAED4 for its significance.
*
*  ORGATI       (input) LOGICAL
*               If ORGATI is true, the needed root is between d(2) and
*               d(3); otherwise it is between d(1) and d(2).  See
*               SLAED4 for further details.
*
*  RHO          (input) REAL            
*               Refer to the equation f(x) above.
*
*  D            (input) REAL array, dimension (3)
*               D satisfies d(1) < d(2) < d(3).
*
*  Z            (input) REAL array, dimension (3)
*               Each of the elements in z must be positive.
*
*  FINIT        (input) REAL            
*               The value of f at 0. It is more accurate than the one
*               evaluated inside this routine (if someone wants to do
*               so).
*
*  TAU          (output) REAL            
*               The root of the equation f(x).
*
*  INFO         (output) INTEGER
*               = 0: successful exit
*               > 0: if INFO = 1, failure to converge

*  ===============
*
*  30/06/99: Based on contributions by
*     Ren-Cang Li, Computer Science Division, University of California
*     at Berkeley, USA
*
*  10/02/03: This version has a few statements commented out for thread safety
*     (machine parameters are computed on each entry). SJH.
*
*  05/10/06: Modified from a new version of Ren-Cang Li, use
*     Gragg-Thornton-Warner cubic convergent scheme for better stability.
