[Coin-ipopt] Problems using Ipopt

Hallo Ipopt-Team especially Andreas,

as we discussed in Dresden I tried to install Ipopt (first in a 32 Bit 
version) and it seemed to be succesfull, because AMPL accepted
ipoptAMPL as a solver an starts to solve the problem. But even for very easy 
problems i get a 

"Regularization parameter getting too large (a): 1.0E24"

error. Maybe there was an error in the compilation ??

Ciao Karsten

P.S.: Is it too impolite to write the problems in german?? It would make it 
much easier???
P.P.S.: Here I send the complete output from AMPL:
