*     Purpose :
*     ---------

*     The status ELST is modified to correspond to the status of
*     an non-convex element function. 

*     The sith bit of the integer ELST is set to zero.

*     Parameter :
*     -----------

*     elst    ( int )

*       input  : the status of the considered element function.
*       output : the updated status corresponds to the status
*                of a non-convex element function.
