[Clp] (no subject)

[Jackson Gorham]

Hello! My name is Jackson Gorham, and I've been using the Clp solver to
solve many linear programs which are relevant to my research. Recently, I
been trying to solve some LPs and unfortunately Clp has been segfault'ing
on me. When I run the program with its most verbose logging option, I see
the following on stdout:

[Solving optimization program]
Clp0051I Range of diagonal values is 1e+12 to 0.00074793108

6.83568e+08 elements in sparse Cholesky, flop count 3.77274e+14

which after hanging for a while is followed by this getting printed to
stderr:

I suspect this is due to the fact that my constraint matrix is badly
conditioned... is that correct? If so, is there anything I can do to
improve the preconditioning and/or get around this? Let me know if I can
provide any other information that might be useful here.

Thanks!
