LS Solver

The log of the LS solver as distributed in 22.8 beta is slightly different from the original version I compiled myself.

The labels seem to have lost their quotation marks. I hoped my code was easily portable, but this may indicate a weakness (although I don't see immediately what I did wrong here). Most importantly the numerical results are the same, so that is good. Actually my banner has "least square" which should read "least squares" (surely in most cases we have multiple squared errors).
