Strange. I see no reason for this since n is merely an additional offset
which could, depending on the function, even be negative. And the DNLS1E
routine from SLATEC doesn't have any problems here. How is fitting done
in gnuplot in particular?

BTW DNSL1E returns the following best-fit results, even with initial
n=m=0.0:

m = 0.995 +/- 0.041
n = 1.065 +/- 0.135

as does gnuplot with non-zero initial n. Maybe that routine has some
singular matrix trap which gnuplot doesn't have.
