Tabrez-

You need to be careful with the nondimensionalization scales. If you 
achieved good convergence with PyLith 1.3, in PyLith 1.4 you should 
setup the nondimensionalization scales so that the pressure scale 
matches the shear modulus associated with the fault physical properties 
used in PyLith 1.3.
