Hi Jason,

Thanks a lot for your answers. The *'s are actually probably because I put
my input file in bold in Gmail, and Gmail uses *'s to make text bold. Those
aren't there in my raw input files.

The first minimization input file is the stage where I see the problem.

Thanks a lot for your help, Jason, and have a great day,

Kamali
