  Hi,

  Thanks! Basically, this is the part of my inlist &controls section which
deals with the problem:


      report_why_dt_limits = .true.

      delta_lgL_nuc_limit = 0.5

      !delta_lgL_nuc_hard_limit = 0.5

      min_timestep_factor = 0.8d0

      power_nuc_burn_upper_limit = 1d15

      max_timestep =  1972350000

      varcontrol_target = 1d-3
      mesh_delta_coeff = 0.5

      logQ_limit = 1d6
      gamma_center_limit = 1d6

      photostep = 50
      profile_interval = 50
      history_interval = 10
      terminal_cnt = 10
      write_header_frequency = 10

      min_timestep_limit = 1d-8 ! seconds

      T_mix_limit = 1d4


  And, eventually, my terminal output shows that the variation in lg_Lnuc
is bigger than the limit I established before (0.5). I do not understand my
misconception regarding the command delta_lgL_nuc_limit. Lnuc is giving me
problems regarding the time step and this is why I want to limit it.

  Thanks!
