[Mesa-users] hydro_newton_step failed to accept error during calculation of 2Ms

[Francis Timmes]

hi miszuda,

it appears you are using bill wolf's ruby-based MesaScript to generate the inlist(s). 
this is wonderful, and it would be constructive for help purposes to also send the actual 
(MesaScript generated) inlist that mesa is using.

this is within normal behavior. the warning usually means the attempted time step
was too large for the implicit solver to converge. mesa automatically decreases the
attempted time step and tries again.
