I did a little test over lunch.

First I ran Radek's inlist as is, which takes 1714 steps and then
terminates at the max_age limit.  This has a max_timestep of 1e7 yr.

Then, I restarted from step 1700 and 
  + evolved past the max_age with a max_timestep of 1e7 yr
  + evolved to the max_age with a max_timestep of 3e6 yr
  + evolved to the max_age with a max_timestep of 1e6 yr
  + evolved to the max_age with a max_timestep of 1e5 yr

I've attached an HR diagram showing the results.

Which is just to say that this is all about having a smaller timestep,
rather than reaching the last timestep.
