In general this means: code has exited due to a signal, as the exit code is larger than 128. Subtract 128 to get the signal number: 9 Signal 9 under a unix system means SIGKILL. So somebody or something has killed espresso. If you were running under a queuing system, check its log files (if you don't know where they are, you have to ask your local system administrator). If you were running without a queueing system on a linux machine, the OOM killer (part of the linux kernel) may be responsible: try 'dmesg' in a terminal or check the logfiles in /var/log/. -- Mit freundlichen Gr??en Henning Glawe Max-Planck-Institut f?r Mikrostrukturphysik Weinberg 2, 06120 Halle (Saale), Germany http://www.mpi-halle.de/~theory Phone: +49-345-5582-613 Fax: +49-345-5511223 Email: glawe at mpi-halle.de
