The correct title of the bug reads: "to *reduce* the numerical error". Yes, it is expected that the error is not eliminated completely here, but just reduced where possible, since the method is not a miracle.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
