Listen Jerk, Numerical Recipes have come out with several bug fixes for their routines. Further, they state openly that their response to bug reports is very slow, and frequently never directly to the person making the report. Thus I asked the newsgroups since others may remember discussion on this before (yes I did check dejanews first). Further, if you had a clue, you'd know that the potential bug I mention does not affect convergence, only speed of convergence. Casual testing may not catch it. Not often I see such a stupid response on this newsgroup. Congratulation!
