Wolfgang,

I noticed this issue in the context of codim 1 cells. Newton method
has a great convergence rate BUT it requires the initial guess to be
close enough to the root. This seemed to be one of the issues in the
case I'm referring to.

To make it work I needed to find a better initial guess than the
default (0.5,0.5). One working so far implementation of this idea is
in the branch_codim_two branch.  Unfortunately it needs some
documentation and cleaning. It's in my TODO list but spare time is not
on my side at the moment.
