eig and zero eigenvalues

I am working with a Laplacian matrix, L, and my understanding is that 0 will always be an eigenvalue of L with an algebraic multiplicity of at least 1. However, when I take
L = [2 -1 -1 0 0; 0 2 -1 -1 0; 0 0 2 -1 -1; -1 0 0 2 -1; -1 -1 0 0 2]
and compute eig(L), the result displays as
0.0000
2.5000 + 1.5388i
2.5000 - 1.5388i
2.5000 + 0.3633i
2.5000 - 0.3633i
but nnz(e) gives 5, and e > eps gives [1 1 1 1 1].
How do I get MATLAB to produce or recognize a truly 0 first/smallest eigenvalue? On my machine (MacBook Pro, OS X (10.6.8), MATLAB 7.12.0 (R2011a)), eps = 2.2204e-16 and that "zero" eigenvalue is actually 4.0392e-16.
I am interested in the algebraic multiplicity of the 0 eigenvalue and the smallest non-zero eigenvalue.

Hi,
your test is slightly wrong:
abs(e)>eps
ans =
0
1
1
1
1

Hi Matt,
what the "exact" factor would be, I don't know (L_inf norm of L, L_2 norm of L, something like that). Using norm(L, inf) should be a good value.
