Travis,

Here is the output of mycobyla.py

32bit:
Linux amanda 2.6.11.4-21.12-default #1 Wed May 10 09:38:20 UTC 2006 i686
athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Result by cobyla with one constraint [ 4.95535574  0.66667043]

Result by cobyla with two constraints [ 4.957975    0.64690335]

Exact results [ 4.95535625  0.66666667]


64bit:
Linux lisa 2.6.13-15.10-default #1 Fri May 12 16:13:03 UTC 2006 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Result by cobyla with one constraint [ 4.95535574  0.66667043]

Result by cobyla with two constraints [ 4.95535778  0.6666553 ]

Exact results [ 4.95535625  0.66666667]

So, the difference in the results is associated with the constraints. Do
you agree ?

Nils
