MPFIT parameter errors -0.00000 [message #75989]

Hello,

I was wondering about something strange that seems to be going on
with MPFIT in IDL. MPFIT seems to be working and producing a fine
looking fit, but the errors on some of the parameters are identically
-0.00000. These parameters are not limited or tied to anything at the
moment, so they should be producing some parameter error. Output is
attached below, MPFIT is ending with a "2" status. Any idea what is
going on here? This only seems to happen for a specific data file, for
other fits it seems to be working fine.

Cheers,
Joe
