You might also be interested to know that it affects some of the problems where pA is stuck at 0.5. I can see this in the Relax_disp.test_tp02_data_to_mp05 system test which currently fails. Just run:
$ relax -sd Relax_disp.test_tp02_data_to_mp05 with and without the new minfx and look at the optimisation for the second spin. It looks like the tuned log barrier algorithm can handle these tough edge cases much better now.
