[Clp] Regression with the current trunk.

OK, thanks for the explanations.
I will try to see this alternate solution to the problem.


Best regards,

Not quite sure what bug you are reporting.

I have not repeated your experiments but when I run that problem using 
clp I get x13 with value of 0 and objective of -400.  Using cbc without 
preprocessing I get x13 with value of 0 and objective of -400.  If I use 
preprocessing x13 is 1 but the objective is still -400.  Your output 
shows that x13 has a reduced cost of 0 so either 0 or 1 is valid.  I 
presume the changes to presolve flipped a coin a different way.

If you are just using clp then an error in presolve is self correcting 
as after solving and postsolving it checks optimality. It looks to me as 
if changes in code are leading to alternate optima - but that may happen 
with any changes - maybe not so often with such a tiny problem.

It is quite possible a bug was introduced by the changes, but that would 
probably show up with cbc - not clp.

John Forrest
