Darn, I was hoping your mention of "which is a short program capable of quickly solving the generic problem" meant you had a clever multinomial approach that could solve the problem in mere seconds on an HP 67.

Still, it's a nice elegant solution, even if matrix iteration is the only feasible way to do it. I have a direct adaptation of your program running on my Sharp PC-1403H now. We'll see how long it takes for the large case - it's been going for about 40 minutes...
