questions about qpDstat

Dear Professor,
I encountered an issue while running qpDstat.

• My command line is as follows:

/data/00/user/user187/00.apps/AdmixTools/src/qpDstat -p file.par > allGenomes_chr.D.out

My input files are as follows (showing the first 20 lines of each):

• qpData/allGenomes_chr.geno:

Could you help me understand the issue I am facing? How can I solve it?
Looking forward to your reply.

Start by reproducing the crash with file.par and the supplied qpData/allGenomes_chr.* inputs, then inspect the qpDstat input parsing and allocation paths implicated by the malloc error. Done means identifying the malformed input or defect, preventing the abort, and confirming the same command completes successfully.
