Hi Dingyuan

I ran for over 200 iterations and saw no problem. I tried with your LANG 
and LANGUAGE settings (I don't have the right packages for the other 
settings) and still saw no failure.

Maybe it is a random pointer/memory problem like you suggested. I have 
started running your model with valgrind, but nothing so far,

cheers - Barry
