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
