GAMS/Cplex bug: iteration count reported as zero

In some cases GAMS/Cplex reports erroneously that zero iterations have been performed. Example: run THAI model from the model library with iterlim=5:

               S O L V E      S U M M A R Y

     MODEL   thainavy            OBJECTIVE  obj
     TYPE    MIP                 DIRECTION  MINIMIZE
     SOLVER  CPLEX               FROM LINE  84

**** SOLVER STATUS     4 TERMINATED BY SOLVER  
**** MODEL STATUS      14 NO SOLUTION RETURNED 
**** OBJECTIVE VALUE                0.0000

 RESOURCE USAGE, LIMIT          0.037      1000.000
 ITERATION COUNT, LIMIT         0             5

The SOLVER STATUS is also wrong, this should be 2 ITERATION INTERRUPT. Turns out I have reported this already in january 2006, but it does not seem to get fixed.

Correct values for these settings are often important when running Cplex from a more complex algorithm formulated in GAMS.
