Unexpected result with FD solver |

Hello,
I'm a beginer in Prolog, I want to use GNU Prolog for constraint sovling
in FD. I have tried the solver with a set of in-equations. But for some of
them, I did not get the result expected.
Here is an example:
I wrote a rule:
ieq(LD1,LD2,Va):-
LD1 = [X1,X2,X3,X4],
LD2 = [D1,D2],
fd_domain(LD1,0,20),
fd_domain(LD2,1,12),
Va #=<5,
Va #>=0,
X1 #= 0,
X2 #=< X1+4,
X2 #>= X1+2,
X3 #= X1+D1,
X4 #= X2+D2,
D1 #=< D2+Va,
D1 #>= D2-Va,
X4 #=< X3.
And asked for the possible assignment for these in-equations
(constraints).
However I got the follwing result:
| ?- ieq(LD1,LD2,Va).
LD1 = [0,_#25(2..4),_#47(3..12),_#69(3..12)]
LD2 = [_#91(3..12),_#113(1..10)]
Va = _#134(0..5)
In which the resulting domain of Va is larger than it should be. For
example, ask
| ?- ieq(LD1,LD2,0).
or | ?- ieq(LD1,LD2,1).
will have an answer "no".
Is there any problem with the code? Or I should not use more than three
variables in a constraint? How can I solve this problem.
BTW, what does _#integer mean in the result?
Thanks in advance.
