It is: you get a (short) list V of potential v's; for each such v you get
a (short) list C of potential c's; and we know that the full solution set
is inside { s_{v,c}, v in V, c in C }. Where solutions attached to (a.v, a.c)
for a non-zero scalar 'a' have been grouped together by our normalization.

In this particular case, a single (v,c) is found, and works. (And the
affine hyperplane it corresponds to is given by the equation <x,v> = c.)

Cheers,
