1. I have no idea.
2. However, I doubt that your strategy would work anyway. If there is
not an outright error, you are probably stuck in some endless loop or
are wandering around at random on an essentially "flat" hypersurface.
You would need to change convergence criteria or change the
parameterization of and/or simplify your model before proceeding if
that is the case. Although I would have thought you would have run up
against some sort of maximum iterations limit...

obtain the estimates at the point of termination so that I can use these
estimates as the new starting values for another round of estimation.
