[aspect-devel] Aspect stops running after several time steps

Hi,

one of the models that I'm running gets stuck after 2 time steps. The last
message I see in the log file is: "*** Timestep 3:  t=236212 years".
Aspect's processes are still running and taking up resources, but nothing
happens. Similar model, but with 1.5 lower resolution and 1.5 smaller
domain size in x direction runs just fine. I checked the memory usage -
only 1/3 is being used, so this doesn't seem to be a problem. There is
enough free space on hard drive, too.

Could anyone please give me an advice on how I can find the cause of such
stalling?

Thanks in advance. (I attached the log file just in case)

Best regards,
Lev Karatun.
