A) There is a bug. Cbc used to get correct results for maximization but
it looks as if something is broken in one or more of the heuristics. I
ran the standalone solver with -reverse (which actually changes
objective) rather than -maximize and it got 1573886337.1. So if you
need to use CoinMP/Cbc then for the moment you could reformulate as a
minimization problem.
B) The problem is not very well scaled - running it different ways I can
get solutions that say they are better than cplex, some that are worse
(different in 6th digit).
