pstat == 7 could also mean that the problem is loaded, LP presolved and MIP presolved, but the solution in memory is not valid.

Or it could be that what was intended is (pstat & 7) == 7, which would mean loaded, LP presolved, and MIP presolved, but validity is ignored.

There is another test like this on line 880. There are some other tests for whether presolve is done, but they are bitwise tests ((pstat & 6) == 0).

Unfortunately, this is code contributed by Dash. I will ask the author, but no promises that I can get an answer.

Or even (pstat & 7) == 0 or (pstat & 7) != 0...

Sorry for not following up earlier.
The function tries to obtain a basis from XPRESS. I really don't see the relation between availability of a basis and the state of LP and MIP presolve.

In any case if there is no valid solution in memory I don't see how a basis is available.

I am not working with that anymore but when I tried to use this function a few months ago, I consistently obtained incorrect results.

OK I am closing this. The patch has been in since at least r.951.
