[BUG] min_bic doesn't always converge--causes CI to time out.

[seandavi]

Describe the bug
When running the CI on GH actions, runs time out (intermittently) when min_bic example run.

Expected behavior
Have min_bic either gracefully terminate after some number of iterations, or recode....

Currently, I disabled the example. Needs to be reenabled when fixed.
