I don't understand why are you getting the BV message. Maybe your B-matrix is singular, but it is not sufficient to explain this. If possible, send me your matrices and I will try to reproduce the problem (I would also need to know all the settings, which can be displayed with -eps_view or -eps_view_pre).
