[aspect-devel] Aspect hangs after several time steps

Lev,
this is complicated.

You switched on floating point signals by hand, but your compiler support 
library has functions that trip this, so your program gets stopped in a place 
that is outside anyone's control (and where it doesn't actually matter much). 
This is why floating point exceptions were disabled automatically when you ran 
the ASPECT cmake script. In other words, to make progress, you need to disable 
floating point exceptions again.

Of course, without being able to run FPE on your system, you won't be able to 
reproduce the issues Timo found on his system. But you don't have to find 
these issues -- he already did that for you. Just fix these places and you 
should be able to make progress.

Best
  W.
