[Mesa-users] ppisn problem for version r15140

Hi,

That does actually sound like the problem I was having, but as Rob said,
you haven't given us enough information to help you. The files I sent with
that email were before the problem was solved so they won't help you
test/fix this so I suggest you look at the advice Pablo gave me in that
thread RE overshooting and changing it to either top only or core only
(both worked for me).

Your inlists and run_star_extras look like the defaults, the only
difference I see is that you set rotation to zero. You may want to turn off
the rotation flag if you don't want rotation.

Cheers,

Jeremy
