yes, i was just trying to eliminate the x/0.
In theory, lambda = 0 or lambda = infinity is not semantically wrong, one
would mean smallest file disregarding distortion the other lowest distortion
disregarding size.
I do not know what the intend of the author of the original code was
But the places where divisions by lambda seem to happen semm all followed
by cliping so i guess the minimum doesnt matter and all reasonable
options will give the same result more or less.
ill change it to FLT_EPSILON

thx

Rewriting code that is poorly written but fully understood is good.
Rewriting code that one doesnt understand is a sign that one is less smart
than the original author, trying to rewrite it will not make it better.
