It is trivial, but it seems to be system dependent.  The sqp documentation
currently says that the example problem takes 8 iterations and 10 function
evaluations.  The patch changes this to 9 iterations and 9 function
evaluations.  If I run it on my current machine I get 8 iterations and 9
function evaluations.

I suppose we could try to find an initial vector, x0, which always
converges in the same number of iterations and function evaluations, but
this seems like too much work.
