error in line 518 of regression.c (general_linear_regression): should
not be reached. Gnumeric crashes after attempting `linest' function on
60 data points. y-data and
x-data seperated by 10 orders of magnitude (1e10).

Steps to reproduce the crash:
1. Get data for a line
2. Separate x- and y- data by at least 10 orders of magnitude (e.g
x/1e10)
3. =linest(x1:x10,y10:y10)

Expected Results:

Finds estimate of gradient.

How often does this happen?

Only when x- and y- values separated by 10 or more orders of magnitude.
Possibly problem with algorithm? - If this is so, perhaps just a check
to make
sure the data is valid (i.e. not separated by 1e10), and to not do
calculations
if so rather than crash.

Additional Information:

running gnumeric-1.2.1-bonobo on linux 2.4.20 under blackbox 0.65.
