Hi Billy

thanks for highlighting this problem.

I don't fully understand the issue yet but it seems that the out of bound
access occurs in the MultiCubicSpline class, which is used in the multi
dimensional finite difference solver FdmNdimSolver. As far as I can see it
seems to be a rounding problem, Changing line 212 in
fdsimpleklugeextouvppengine.cpp towards
x[3] = std::min(results.size()-1-1e-8,  (Real) (nStates-results.size()+i));
fixes the problem, I'll investigate this further on.

regards
 Klaus
