Re: IBD events

Hey Matt,

When I run:

rat mac/testIBD.mac

I get this at the end of my RAT output:

CountProc: Event 1
/home/xichimos/src/RAT/bin/rat: line 11: 21502 Killed
${rat_exe
} $*

But it seems to fail at different points, so for example sometimes there
are two events completed. Am I doing something wrong? I am running on
linux. Have you seen this before? It looks like the OS killed it for
some reason.

Thanks,
Chris
