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!

Ken
