cns12.gms : CNS model - unsolvable model, scaling issues

Description

The following model and its scaled variant are both infeasible.
E2 and e3 uniquely determines x2 = x3 = 0, and e1 is then
impossible to satisfy.
The scaling in the second model may force a solver based on
monotonicity of the infeasibilities to adjust x1 gradually as
x2 and x3 are moved towards zero, and the solution process may end
with a very large x1 value and therefore also a very large
derivative.
