Bobak,

How are you specifying the time interval in the output? If you are using 
a specified time interval, then the issue is roundoff errors associated 
with converting between nondimensional and dimensional units for time. 
When requesting output at a specified time interval we recommend using 
something like 49.9999*years rather than 50.0*years to insure you get 
the output at the desired interval.
