 Hi:

 I have having trouble getting into an infinite loop at node 0 with
 DecompAlgoC. This problem seems to arise when a point in the core
 constraints in not in the relaxed polyhedron. Consider, for example,

 4*x1 + 9*x2 <= 18;
 -2*x1 +  4*x2 <= 4;
 x1 + x2 <=  2;

 Treat the third constraint as the core constraint. In this case
 DecompAlgoC works fine. Then change the RHS of the third constraint to 5
 and DecompAlgoC goes into an infinite loop at node 0 with

 Alps0240I Processed 0 nodes, has 1 nodes, best relaxed -5, best feasible
 1e+75
 Alps0240I Processed 0 nodes, has 1 nodes, best relaxed -5, best feasible
 1e+75
 Alps0240I Processed 0 nodes, has 1 nodes, best relaxed -5, best feasible
 1e+75
 Alps0240I Processed 0 nodes, has 1 nodes, best relaxed -5, best feasible
 1e+75
 Alps0240I Processed 0 nodes, has 1 nodes, best relaxed -5, best feasible

 repeated over and over.
