Dear all,

This summer several users of SPECFEM3D_GLOBE had informed us that the 
latest version of the code was unstable. Daniel Peter has just found and 
fixed the problem, therefore please get the new version and you should 
be all set.

Please inform us if you still get stability issues.

Thank you,
Best regards,

Dimitri.

PS: that new version of SPECFEM3D_GLOBE has several other bug fixes and 
improvements (in particular in the case of viscoelasticity); therefore 
we encourage users to upgrade to version 5.1.5.

Best regards,
Dimitri.
