Yes, you are right. I got these two threads confused.

When i'm working on -nps of frmky, I sometime get the line

Code:

poly 12000048 376871999634151963 54459810153912782101909120209246657
poly 12000048 550823574178211821 54459810153912781740531311604282959
line minimize failed
poly 12000048 483290353796105167 54459810153912782069489787201019936

Does that mean the size optimisation failed? or something else?

It means the size optimization on that particular example was numerically unstable enough that the optimization gave up and used the current output as the answer. Probably it isn't good enough though.
