Yet you didn't supply the source code for F1(), so nobody will be able 
to help you.

(But what you should do is a) figure out which argument range F1 will be 
evaluated in ("print const1, x" should get you started if you don't 
know), b) write a seperate function that *only* evaluates F1 in various 
points in this range (perhaps plots it etc.). That should probably give 
you a clue about what you are doing wrong.

The key is to isolate the problem. That will also help you produce a 
version of F1 that you feel confident about posting to the list.
