Well, no -- it turns out that it has nothing to do with any functions and numerics (though it's also nice to have that sorted out along the way). It's apparently a problem of dataset handling, but it's kind of strange: On my local copy of the workfile the relevant value of the obs is 0.870609. After transferring the full 350KB gdt file to the server this value somehow becomes the problematic 4.90325e-310! All the other values are fine (it seems). I thought it was file corruption, but the issue is reproducible after transferring and overwriting on the server several times.
