[mesa-users] too many backups

[amber lauer]

Even though you responded thinking I was working on a different model, this
turned out to be the solution. The make_co_wd test suite case uses
relax_mass as well and that is what it was hanging up on. I kept lowering
lg_max_abs_mdot till it got through the relaxation.  So thanks!
