Maybe try a double precision singular value decomposition to see
if something funny is up with your matrix:

svdc,Your_Matrix,sv,u,v,/double
plot_io,sv(reverse(sort(sv)))/max(sv),psym=-1

If it looks ok, I don't know why "invert" would be misbehaving,
but then you can anyway get the inverse as
v##diag(1./sv)##transpose(u).
