Description

Run was proceeding fine, adding reactions, when suddenly during reaction generation:

For reaction generation 7 processes are used.
libc++abi.dylib: terminating with uncaught exception of type std::runtime_error: Couldn't close file

Yesterday I got the same error in a different calculation, but the message repeated for 1000++ times before I killed the job. What is the cause, and can the problem be avoided?

Look for the relevant execution logs or traceback and establish a reproducible case; done means identifying the cause and documenting a verified way to avoid or resolve the termination.
