Does it occur when dual_gaussian returns np.nan? I'd help if you could
attach the full output of your script and also print err in efx.
It is not clear to me why this is a bug in scipy. This exception comes
from MINPACK's lmdif FORTRAN routine directly. It is often triggered
when the objective function returns an array with wrong dimensions.
