[CIG-SHORT] Re: GeoFEST runs for strike-slip model (Jiangning L?)

[Jiangning Lü]

I tried to run the 500m case in GeoFEST sequential version on my pc, 
error also
occurred:
Number of nodes = 117649
nsd = 3  ;  ndof = 3  ;  nrates = 0  ;  save_shape = 1  ;  solver = 2

Bus error

What does it mean by "bus error"?
When I googled, I got this:
If the program displays this message:
	Bus error
or
	Segmentation fault
then the program was trying to access a memory location outside its
address space.  The computer detected this problem and sent a signal to your
program, which caused it to abort.
Things that cause bus errors and segmentation violations are typically
out-of-bounds array references and/or references through uninitialized or
mangled pointers.

Any hints?
