[Mesa-users] Small timesteps in binary evolution towards LMXB formation

Dear MESA users,

I am evolving a 13 M_sun with a 1.6 M_sun system in
.../binary/test_suite/evolve_both_stars, hoping to simulate the formation
of a low mass X-ray binary.
However, I keep getting small timesteps (down to log dt < -8 ). The
timesteps starts to decrease following the burning of Oxygen.
I am attaching the inlists as well as a file showing the last line of the
terminal before the run stopped.

I would really appreciate it if I could receive some guidance on this
problem.
Thank you.
Regards
