try to see if there is a CRASH file somewhere, in particular in the output
directory of image 2. If there is none, the code hasn't stopped in one of
the many error checks. If there is one, the error message should explain
something.

It is very difficult to figure out from such obscure messages what went
wrong and where. Typically this kind of obscure crashes are either due to a
library or compiler bug, or to subtle code bugs, leading to different
processors taking different paths (for instance: some processors find
convergence, some don't).
