Can you just confirm specifically up to what patch number you applied. Just
to be sure you have ALL of the latest patches.

Can you confirm that you can run this simulation on the CPU with cut=10
without issue?

This occurs when the system blows up, however why it blows up is the issue.

Can you please send you input files so we can try to reproduce this.
