Thanks for all replies.
The problem occurred in the following context:

A Gaussian one dimensional mixture (number of constituents, locations, variances all unknown)
is to be fitted to data (as starting value to or in lieu of mixtools). A likelihood maximization is performed.

I'll try to destill the code so that reproducible failure of L-BFGS-B occurs
and post it here.
