I am using Type 56 and am getting bad results depending on what START time I use. What am I doing wrong?

(Note: this problem is corrected in recent TRNSYS 15 releases and all TRNSYS 16 releases: Type 56 now generates an error message) The simulation START time must be an integer multiple of the wall TIMEBASE in TRNBuild or the program WILL NOT run correctly. For example, if the wall timebase is 0.5 hours, the simulation start time must be 0.0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 etc., or the program will not produce correct results. In fact, it will produce extremely strange results. If you find this hard to believe, change the restaurant example provided with purchase. If you change the timebase to 0.5 and the simulation start times to 0,0.25,0.5,0.75, and 1.0… the results are different for all but the 0,0.5, and 1 cases.
