Re: [eclipse-clp-users] 'Problem is infeasible!' in eplex goes to stdout

Hi Sergii,

I am afraid there will be further delays to the updated CBC. 
Unfortunately the new CBC is failing one of our tests during the build 
and test process, so I am reverting back to using the old CBC until this 
new bug is resolved.

It looks like a bug in CBC at the moment, once I confirm this is the 
case, I will need to report it to the CBC people and wait for their fix, 
so I am not sure how long this may take...

Cheers,

Kish
