[CIG-MC] CitcomS crashing when reading tracer files

[Dan Bower]

Hi Eh,

I've grepped for 'Error', 'error', 'warn', and 'Warn' in the tracer_log and
.info. files and nothing is showing up.  I assume it's some kind of memory
allocation issue since it is literally the total number of tracers that
causes the code to crash?

Cheers,

Dan
