Hello Luigi,

It says the "1st iteration: could not bootstrap ". The quantlib curve is unable to interpolate these kind of data.

How do you think these should be handled or fixed? Also I would like to inform you that if the wrong data / big jump is at the last quote, the quantlib is able to interpolate properly.

Regards,

Sumanta

Catch the exception as I suggested in my previous post and you'll see
the cause of the error.
