Failed to append solution in special 7-bar problem

[d-torrance]

I'm getting the following test error after building PHCpy in Ubuntu 21.04:

Python 3.9.4 (default, Apr  4 2021, 19:38:44) 
[GCC 10.2.1 20210401] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import phcpy
PHCv2.4.84 released 2020-02-26 works!
>>> phcpy.examples.solve_sevenbar()

Thanks for reporting this issue. I have not yet tested phcpy with python 3.9 What happens if you do from phcpy.examples import test test() In that test(), the sevenbar problem is solve with a fixed seed of the random number generator.

Same problem. (Running test() is how I found this issue to begin with. All the other tests it runs were successful.)
