Oops! I'm going to check it right n... after my vacation :).
BTW, "air05", "cap6000", "donoint", "fiber", "mitre", "mod011" and "qiu"
were solved myself with v.4.0 too. The shortest run time from them had
"fiber" - 57m on 1.8 GHz stone, so on my home PC I must run it
over night...
What are solution times for those triple?

The world of MIP moves to more weird stuff :) Have attempted now to look
in MIPLIB 2003 on ZIB site but without success - it seems the guys are 
on vacation too... IMHO there are something like "air05" in the library. 
So everything isn't so bad :)
