Hi all,

I'm using the wonderfull mpfit routine from Craig Markwardt. Today I
was having problems with convergence and I was looking in the code
what caused it. I was using parameter limits and as far as I can tell,
the parameter incrementation is done like this:

xnew = x + alpha * dx

where dx are the parameter increments and alpha = 1, except when xnew
would exceed the limits, in which case alpha < 1. So if one parameter
is close to the limit, this effects the increments for all other
parameters. If alpha is too small, the fit stops.

Why isn't dx adapted, so that pegged parameters won't effect the
convergence for other parameters?
