I found a small bug in MPFIT.PRO. It only bites in certain
circumstances. Specifically, if you fix some parameters, and place
bounding constraints on other parameters, then the fit procedure can
finish too soon, before the parameters have converged.

A new corrected version is on my web page, listed below.
