Hi Ed.

Thanks for fixing the bug!

But I think the worst most pity thing, is that I have waster 1/4-1/2
year of my PhD to fix this bug:

bug #22032: Minimisation explodes when using Grid_INC=None
https://gna.org/bugs/index.php?22032

My last three weeks analysis have shown that the error catching at
boundary values had a huge impact on the minimisation search. It
simply went to scrap.
This was also the case when running grid search. Touching the math
domain errors, caught simplex to stop.

I have tried so hard to understand why the behaviour of relax is
different from other programs.
I have tested, and inspected code, and tried other programs. relax was
just stubborn.

Realising this issue has been a relieve!

I am happy that the processor.run_queue() bug only is related to the test-suite.
It hopefully did not affect production???

I can have night-mares about these bugs, as that can mean that
scientists are wasting their time.
Including mine.

Best
Troels
