Chris, enlight13.mps violates the following mps standard conventions:

1) it uses LI bound type, which is non-standard;

2) the standard says that "for integer variables, the default bounds on
columns are 0 and 1". Enlight13.mps does not set upper bounds for some
columns (LI sets only lower bounds), so such columns are considered as
binary that leads to incorrect results.

For more details about the mps format please see:

in particular, the topic "BOUNDS section". Thanks.
