I have also seen problems with NaNs in the case of very correlated dictionnaries/designs. I think that this is due to the conditionning of the problem, and numerical erros that accumulate. I looked a bit, but really couldn't find where the problem was. I had too leave for travels, but Virgile, Fabian and I where hoping to work on this more. Can people confirm that some other solvers (e.g. GLMnet) do not have the same problem? In which case, we need to figure out how they do it.
