Are you thinking of the question that Andreas asked before? i.e. answered 
here <http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2004-02/msg00308.html> and 
here <http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2004-02/msg00304.html> and 
here <http://ecos.sourceware.org/ml/ecos-discuss/2004-02/msg00312.html>

If so, then this reads like the same question, so Andreas, you may want to 
rephrase your question since it sounds like the same one again!
