[Help-glpk] MIP gap tolerance

Hi,

I have an issue with the "mipgap" parameter in GLPK.
I have a mixed integer linear programming problem with (only) binary
integer variables. And I am using GLPK in MATLAB/Octave.
As I understood from the the help, setting the parameter "mipgap" to some
value, e.g., 0.1, should terminate the search "if the 
relative mip gap for currently known best integer feasible solution falls
below this tolerance". 
I need the solver to return a feasible solution when the gap is below a
certain value. However, in my example when the search is terminated,
although the output messages show some value for the objective value, the
solver returns "zero" for the objective value and all variables, and the
Status is 114 (which I did not find in the help). 
Any idea what is the problem?

Here is the output messages of GLPK (for mipgap=0.1):
