What version of BaSTA are you using? We had a bug in version 1.1 that usually gave that error. Would you mind installing version 1.2 and running it again? Please let us know if you get the error again; we can help you go through your data and find out where the problem might be.</div><div><br></div><div> Best,</div><div><br></div><div> Fernando<br><div>
