Hello Pierre,

  I am not sure exactly what is going on with your execution. There were no
other errors reported during the leap execution? I am assuming that you
don't have any force-field related issues. Correct? I have done this
several times and haven't had a problem. If you wish, you can send me your
files privately and I can try to trouble shoot it.

Bests,
Karl
