[Coin-ipopt] How many variables???

[Carl Damon Laird]

AMPL has a preprocessing phase that may remove variables from the problem. 
The number returned by AMPL is the full count before any preprocessing, 
while the number reported by Ipopt is the number of variables given to the 
solver (after preprocessing).

In most cases, you can turn off the ampl preprocessing and substitution 
phase with,

option presolve 0;
option substout 0;

Hope this helps,

Carl.
