Hi,

It looks like ~80% of the jobs crash somewhere. The crashes occur in
ascii2lcd, when it choked on corrupt data, not in the simulation itself.
>From this rate I'd conclude that something like 1-2% of events have this 
problem. Of course, if it happens to be the 2nd event in a file,
ascii2lcd will not convert the other 98 events...

I did not see this problem with the non-optimized code, at least I don't
think so. In any case it was not nearly this bad.
