Please note that glpkmex is a separate project. Probably you should
post your report to the bug tracker of the glpkmex project:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/glpkmex/support

Looking thru your bug report I found that you perform perturbation
of the constraint matrix by adding 1e-15 to all its elements. It is
not a good idea to perturb *zero* elements in such way, because that
makes the matrix extremely badly scaled: max|aij|/min|aij| ~= 1e+15.
If the automatic scaling is enabled, there may appear large round-off
errors. I would suggest you either to disable the automatic scaling
in this case or, that is much better, not to perturb zero elements.
