Comsol terminates in strange ways

Hi! I've been wondering about this for some time now, as it happens quite a lot with me. How is it, that the "Termination criterion" is set to "Solution or residual", and the "Relative error" is set let's say to 0.001. ("Temination technique" is "Tolerance".) It happens quite a lot that the SolErr is e.g. 1e-10 and still the Fully Copuled solver terminates with an error saying something like:

"Failed to find a solution for all parameters,
even when using the minimum parameter step.
No convergence, even when using the minimum damping factor.
There was an error message from the linear solver.
The relative error (0.0027) is greater than the relative tolerance.
Returned solution is not converged."

(I'm also using an auxiliary sweep.) The minimal damping factor is set to 1e-6, the one that shows up in the solver log is much greater (it even happens that it's exactly 1.0). The last parameter step that shows up in the log is also too large, around 0.1, whereas the minimum step is around 0.001. Can somebody explain these strange phenomena?
