[mesa-users] Convergence problems with test_suite/1M_pre_ms_to_wd

[Linda Strubbe]

Hello again,
I just wanted to send this again in case it fell through the cracks.  I'd
appreciate any help with this, and am very glad to give more info if you
let me know what I need to tell you.  Thanks very much!

Linda
