The overall flatness does not consistently carry over into the report.

data is in 12012008_01a.zip.  This is a problem that Mike Wilson had seen mmultiple times last week.  The overall flatness does not consistently carry over into the report.
Steps to reproduce:
On thje top of the 3rd page of the report are two flatness callouts.  Each one has overall flatness and then unit flatrness as well.  In this last run, the overall flatness is 0 whilke the unit flatness is non-zero.
Results:
Look at the PDF file names Monday-12012008_001-1-3.PDF, on top of the 3rd page.

Initial testing (6 runs) shows that this is not a problem.  Since it seemed to be only random in earlier tests, I plan to run more cycles before declaring it fixed.

The problem here is that V43B, V44B were updated to use the new LPSOLVE55.DLL (3rd party dll) but V431 was still using the older dll.  Upgrading V431 to this new dll solved the problem of the overall flatness reporting 0.0 (math did not converge).

Using V431 in either debug or release build, the overall flatness fails to converge so the reported value is 0.  This fails consistently every time.   When I use V43B debug build, this converges every time to a reported value of 0.01247.  

Using debug printf's, I have verified that the data going into the maxmin fit in PCDSFit is identical in V431 and V43B.  But the algorithm does not converge in V431 so there must be some difference in the PCDSFit libraries in the two versions.  I have found some differences but nothing yet that gets the V431 to converge.
