model won't run past month 1??

Hi all,

I am having a problem with running cam on an ibm in parallel. I previously had things running fine however in my recent runs the model compiles and runs fine till the end of month one. Then it crashes with a segmentation fault. I tried writing mid month history tapes and that worked fine, the problem is always after the first month (nstep 2160) and has me baffled?

Has anyone else had a similar problem??

Thanks, Gina.

which month are you starting the run? Are you asking for the model to dump monthly
initial conditions files? The reason I ask is there is a compiler bug on bluefire, bluevista
where the model seg faults at the point of writing information to build an initial conditions
file. A patch was put into cam3_5_45 to work around this problem. Alternatively, you can
put "inithist = 'none'" in the cam namelist and the model will not attempt to dump
any initial files.
