Dear S-PLUS user

I am using a ms() function of S-Plus to minimize a function. The
iteration seem to converge as you can see below but I also obtained a
warning message.

My questions are:
What is the meaning of this warning message?
Does it mean that I don't have converge? what can be the reasons?
 
Part of the Trace:
Iteration:  36 ,  75  function calls, F=  2.304488 
Parameters:
[1] -0.6964811 -0.1061021  0.2483386
Iteration:  37 ,  77  function calls, F=  2.304488 
Parameters:
[1] -0.6964811 -0.1061021  0.2483386
Iteration:  38 ,  79  function calls, F=  2.304488 
Parameters:
[1] -0.6964811 -0.1061021  0.2483386
Iteration:  39 ,  81  function calls, F=  2.304488 
Parameters:
[1] -0.6964811 -0.1061021  0.2483386
Iteration:  40 ,  83  function calls, F=  2.304488 
Parameters:
[1] -0.6964811 -0.1061021  0.2483386
Warning messages:
  Warning in ms( ~ L(B1, A2, A3), control = list(maxiter = 100, tol =
0.001), trace = T): FALSE CONVERGENCE.
