Description

Hi all,

I'm getting Segmentation Fault errors. I can't find a pattern when it happens. Happened on multiple datasets so far, rather sparse (i.e. on some occasions just once or twice a day?).

Using a fresh install (last week) of phy2 (version 2,0b1), on Ubuntu 16.04.

Would love to share the datasets which show this error, but I have a feeling this might be a difficult to reproduce issue. Nonetheless, I wanted to mention it.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by investigating the segmentation fault under phy version 2.0b1 on Ubuntu 16.04 and comparing runs across the affected datasets. Done requires a reproducible trigger or narrowed cause and a verified fix, ideally with regression coverage.
