Hi,
I have been running pisoFoam on a case for a like a week or so and have not encountered any problem. Since yesterday, the simualtion stops after like 20 mins into the run giving the following error

4] #0 Foam::error:rintStack(Foam::Ostream&) in "/home/vishwa/vishwa/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"
[4] #1 Foam::sigSegv::sigSegvHandler(int) in "/home/vishwa/vishwa/OpenFOAM/OpenFOAM-1.6.x/lib/linux64GccDPOpt/libOpenFOAM.so"
[4] #2 __restore_rt at sigaction.c:0

[node160:27364] *** End of error message ***
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
mpirun noticed that process rank 4 with PID 27364 on node node160 exited on signal 11 (Segmentation fault).

I tried to restart the simulation with the data that had already been saved before this error occurred.. The result was the same..it ran for like 20 mins and stopped with the same error.

Have no clue what to do. Any help please..

Regards,
Vishwa
