The thing that's still a bit surprising to me is that this is a very solar star - solar mass, solar composition, solar age. Gold tolerances are on. I wouldn't have thought we're in particularly ugly regions for the EOS, or any of the other input physics... but perhaps I haven't appreciated the lack of precision, even at solar conditions. 

Please send enough (inlists etc) so that I can poke into the details to see if I can find out why it is not able to keep rel_run_E_err down.   I’m also curious about what could be going on if what seems like a vanilla situation.

darn, i was hoping you’d make a small detour in your career to solve the eos problems and the opacity problems and all the rest.  ;-)
