[Scilab-Dev] Strange bug? in CUTEr

[Jean-Pierre Dussault]

Hi,

my script, which tests and compares optimization algorithms on a list of examples from the CUTEr toolbox, on one specific problem, crashes. In the terminal where scilab was started, the last message is:
INITW: The size of array IWK must be increased by at least      1213615
 setcuterr

Here is the resulting strange behavior:
-->ls '/tmp/SCI_TMP_10021_oQNGWQ/NONMSQRT'
 ans  =

!RANGE.f      !
!             !
!OUTSDIF.d    !
!             !
!cleaner.sce  !
!             !
!ELFUN.f      !
!             !
!loader.sce   !
!             !
!EXTER.f      !
!             !
!GROUP.f      !
!             !
!OUTMESS      !
!             !
!librange.so  !

-->ptst = '/tmp/SCI_TMP_10021_oQNGWQ/NONMSQRT'
 ptst  =

 /tmp/SCI_TMP_10021_oQNGWQ/NONMSQRT

-->ls ptst
 ans  =

     []
Fore some strange reason, the path in a string variable ptst points to an empty location. The actual error message was:
-->[x0] = usetup(probpath+'/OUTSDIF.d');
                                     !--error 998
probpath                /OUTSDIF.d');

-->probpath
 probpath  =

 /tmp/SCI_TMP_10021_oQNGWQ/NONMSQRT
caused by the empty location.

Any idea on this strange problem?

Thx,

JPD
