Hi Donna,
Thanks for testing this, and for your fast response. Yes we're not getting a core dump and it does finish, although with 144 cycles. Are you saying we should switch back to the old caret for the time being? I mean, the check_reg result seems fine, but maybe there's still something wrong with it?
  Thank you!

Hi Taosheng,

I tried running postborder.sh on a dataset I have here, and I got a core dump 
on the offending line:

+ caret_command -surface-sphere-multi-morph Human.SAIS_018.L.73730.spec 
deformed_Human.SAIS_018.L.Midthickness_711-2B.mws.coord 
Human.SAIS_018.L.SPHERICAL.73730.MWS.coord Human.SAIS_018.L.CLOSED.73730.topo
./PALS_B12.LR/postborder.sh: line 50: 27257 Segmentation fault      (core 
dumped) caret_command -surface-sphere-multi-morph $SPEC $FIDUCIAL_MWS 
$SPHERE_MWS $TOPO

You're not getting a core dump, but something else is clearly going awry with 
that line.

I tried backtracking to a June 2011 vintage caret, and it completed with no 
problems.  Here is the version I used:

http://brainvis.wustl.edu/pub/caret/caret_distribution_Linux64.v5.64.zip
login pub
password download

Here are the logs for the for the two versions of caret (bad and good):

Good log:
        http://brainvis.wustl.edu/pub/donna/US/MI/postborder.201106.log

I'm not sure when caret_command will be fixed, but I will pass the dataset and 
details on to the developers.

Hi Taosheng,

I am going to try postborder.sh on my new Linux box and see if it does the same 
thing.

I don't see any candidate culprits in my ~/.caret5_preferences file.

No one else has reported this issue.  More users are moving to the fs_LR 
pipeline:

There are trade-offs which are discussed here:

One big plus is that there is no border tweaking.

I'll let you know how my post border.sh trial comes out, or if I need sample 
data.  But I think I have plenty of sample data right here.  I can't imagine 
what might be unique about our data that would cause this.

Hi Donna,
Yes I can see that line of code in the script. Have you other others on this 
list run this command lately? I wonder if you also see this many cycles. If 
not, I wonder if there is some global setting I should set, or something is off 
with my data. I can certainly supply the data if needed.
Thank you,

Hmmm.  Your results look great, but 144 cycles of spherical morphing is 
certainly not normal.  I think the line in the script that does this is this 
one:

    #MULTIRESOLUTION MORPHING
    caret_command -surface-sphere-multi-morph $SPEC $FIDUCIAL_MWS $SPHERE_MWS 
$TOPO

There are no parameters for this one; they are built in, apparently, so I'm not 
sure what could be going on.

I'm stumped.

Hi Donna,
I've been using the preborder and postborder scripts to convert files from 
FreeSurfer to Caret (hope you still remember I was involved in early testing of 
these scripts). Things  have been working great. I haven't done this for a 
while, but recently I changed computer and installed the current version of 
Caret and these scripts, and there seems to be some difference in how the code 
works. I just want to make sure this is expected behavior.
Specifically, when we run postborder script, it takes much longer. It seems 
either the script or caret_command is doing more iterations, because we now see 
files like this after the script finishes:

Human.FS040.L.SPHERICAL.73730.MWS.SPHERE_CYCLE144.coord

There're a lot of files like this, with consecutive names from CYCLE1 to CYCLE 
144, whereas previously it only goes from CYCLE1 to CYCLE4. My question is: is 
this expected behavior, or is there something wrong in how we ran the scripts?
I've posted the result from the check_reg here 
http://psychology.msu.edu/liulab/files/html_out/views.html

They look just like before, but I'd like to confirm whether this is normal.
Thank you very much,
