Hi Sheila,

I had a quick look at your log files, and noticed again that you are 
running over >130000 events per job. I believe there are just too many 
memory leaks and VubRecoilUserApp can't handle such a number of events...
This is the end of your log/SP-1235-BSemiExcl-R18b-34.log:

Exited with exit code 134.

Resource usage summary:

     CPU time   :   6107.12 sec.
     Max Memory :      1760 MB
     Max Swap   :      2945 MB

Those number are definitively too large.

My suggestion is to reduce the number of events per job to ~70000.

Cheers,

Roberto
