Hi Truls,
   actually, I don't know why this happened. I had made some 
modifications to the acceptance generator last week, only for run03, by 
adding MRST0 detector (via an extra option, since I have been testing it 
still, so I have not committed it to the software). I could generate 
maps with it and got quite satisfactory results for the MRS analysis 
(only for setting 90B1050, by run8505) last week, but I couldn't do it 
for the other settings yesterday when I did re-analyze the new dst. (and 
I found I could not do it for the setting 90B1050 which I could before!) 
It happened, and is really very wired, so  asked Ionut to do the same 
with his acceptance generator - we've got the same error msg.

Maybe you have some clue? May it only be related to d+Au runs?

Best regards,
  Hongyan
