Hi all,

I am facing the same error that Cyrine Nasri mentioned in this thread.

I will try and give more information that what has already been mentioned.
1.  I was using a single-threaded version of moses until earlier and was
having no problem with the experiments using EMS.
2.  I recently shifted to a multi-threaded version, and tried the same
experiment again with EMS.
This time, the tuning process crashes after a single iteration with exactly
the same error as mentioned below.
3.  I have used 10 threads for decoding in the tuning process, and am using
a server with 32Gb ram for running the experiments. (Might not be related,
but just thought I should mention!)

I am not sure if Cyrine's problem was with the multi-threaded version as
well, but could some one point out as to what might be wrong in this picture
?
