You're right. Anyway, by choosing c = 1 I was able to find 16 solutions in 30 seconds on a physical HP 50g (see my edited post above), better than only one which was my goal in the first place.
But I recognize I shouldn't be lazy and should try to find all 136 solutions in a reasonable time. Perhaps one of these days I will :-)

Cheers,

Gerson.
