[Ipopt] Error system of Ipopt when using GAMS

[yanndan bronx]

Hello Everyone,
I have a weird problem with IPOPT using GAMS Interface. My problem is an non linear problem. I tried to resolve it on real instances but I got errors of the system. So I reduced my instances to a problem of small size which can be solved with a pen and a paper.However  I still have an error system.  I reproduce at the end of  this message the  solution report :
I try to solve it with COUENNE and I get my solution. I tried with BONMIN ( I cheated,  I toldBONMIN that my problem was MINLP) BONMIN called Ipopt and we get the same error sytem.
I am a bit stubborn, so I would like to see if the problem was coming from GAMS. I used CONVERT to transpose my instance into AMPL format. I tried and IPOPT achieve maximum of iterations. BONMIN and COUENNE find quickly the solution of my problem.
Have you got any ideas to solve this kind of problem.
Best Regards, Dan
