[mesa-users] Can't get mesa star started

[Aaron Dotter]

Hi Leonardo,

This is a problem we sometimes see (in fact we see saw it just last week!).
 Some systems experience the problem with initial_Z = 0 that some mass
fractions get assigned to very small, but negative numbers.  We (still)
need to check for this and attempt to fix it in the code.  In the meantime,
you can try to set initial_Z to a small positive number in your inlist and
you should have no trouble evolving the model from there.

Aaron
