Dear Tsuboi-san,

Thank you very much for your answer.
To change the value of the time step DT automatically computed by the 
code, you can edit file src/shared/get_timestep_and_layers.f90 and put 
something like:

DT = DT * 0.90

at the end of that routine. This should fix the problem.

Best regards,
Dimitri Komatitsch.
