[Mesa-users] Test suite in r15140

[Kevin Rorke]

Thank you, everyone, for the extremely helpful comments and suggestions.

It turned out that the main problem was indeed a memory issue; while 
running the inlist_remove_env inlist, the memory usage increased to its 
maximum and then killed the run (even while using the default initial 
mass of 3.1 Msun). Doubling the memory to 16GB solved that problem.

Cheers,

Kevin
