problem(s) within POLY_FIT when X is not float + status always (??) equal to 1

[alaingdl]

I have some data (eg. Zanardo 1.4 GHz --I provided below the data--) and :

• POLY_FIT don't converge when X array is in integer type.
• Furthermore in my tests the STATUS keyword (return value) is always at value 1
• When degre is =< 3, and input float, numerical fitted parameters are simular with IDL, but not when degre > 3

GDL> help, d,z
D               INT       = Array[37]
Z               FLOAT     = Array[37]
