[CIG-SHORT] Rate and State and Initial Traction

I did just run:

pylith step01.cfg --petsc.fp_trap=0

Is that what you meant? If it is, I still have the same problem :-) and it does not change what I see on the screen. Should it change something?

However, the norm computation problem does not appear when I set the zero_tolerance to 1.0 (it does not converge though, but I don't have this Floating point exception...)

It works fine with the SlipWeakening law in 2D. I'm trying to move on to the RateStateAgeing behavior and I have problems applying the initial traction conditions:

I use a SimpleDB to put a negative traction all along the fault, and a shear traction compatible with the friction coefficients I impose. However, when I run this, I have the following error message from PETSc (I attach the log):

If I set the normal traction to be positive, it does not crash as well (and it does not converge as well). I join to this message the cfg file I am using for that experiment.
