[R] puzzling classical Mahalanobis distances from covMcd() {robustbase}

Greetings, I am puzzled about why the _classical_ Mahalanobis distances that I get using the {stats} mahalanobis() function do not match the distances I get from the {robustbase} covMcd() function. Here is an example: x <- matrix(rnorm(10*3), ncol = 3) #here is the {stats} result: Sx <- cov(x) D
