My understanding it is a combination of -tolerance(1e-6)- for the
coefficient vector and -ltolerance(1e-7)- for the objective function.
I was trying to figure it out a few weeks ago, and I too found
-nrtolerance- convergence criterion to be the most difficult one to
satisfy. I reduced its influence by rescaling it.
