[Bug-glpk] Re: minimization flag ignored by 'glp_simplex' (GLPK 4.25)

Hi Andrew and other API users

An update.

I modified my problem generator to remove an
'aphysical' mistake -- namely transmission lines with
negative losses (which, I suppose, is equivalent to
letting them suck in power from the aether).  This fix
also corrected the minimization flag problem I had
early experienced (and which was reported in my last
posting).

But even so, the flag problem still seems strange.
I don't see how the physicality of the problem could
be an issue.

Should anyone wish to investigate this further, I am
willing to write the original model out as a set of
sequential GLPK calls.  But this is quite some work,
so I would need an expression of interest.

with best wishes
Robbie
