A possible workaround might be if you could install the release under an older OS. It is newer compilers that seem to bring this issue to light. I think we ourselves only began to experience issues after we upgraded our local OS to Ubuntu 22 (jammy).

Hi again Alexis, Well I have been able to compile a patch for this issue on my laptop, but due to manpower issues, staff departures and absences and so forth, it may be a little while before we can issue a patched release, alas. There's a bunch of automake stuff that needs to be tweaked, plus creati...

Hi Alexis, I remember we had a memory leak issue a while back but off the top of my head I cannot recall whether this was patched in all releases. We may not have been able to do so in the DR1 code. I'll check and get back to you. Of course ideally we would like the demo script to run without error ...

Hi Katharina, Thanks for the input, it is valuable to have it, since of course when writing documentation on our own tasks we have a lot of hidden assumptions, assumptions that users are not privy to. I'll update the expmap doco to point out that, in effect, the --withweights=yes merged maps are nom...

Hi again,

Actually this issue has sparked a bit of a discussion. Can you wait a day or two until we arrive at a consensus answer?

Cheers Ian.

Hi there, I'm the current maintainer of expmap. To give some background to what I am about to comment I will just say that I inherited this task from someone who has now left the project. It took me a while to figure out what it does and I will alas probably remain in the dark about the intent behin...

Hi there, I'm the person who maintains evtool. Can you provide some more detail? Helpful would be: (1) The version numbers of both versions of evtool you are using. The version number is in the first line of output, which looks for example like the following: evtool: v2.39 dev_wc 5 Jun 03:35:49 2024...

Hi there, As you may know, the purpose of the demo script is to run several of the esass tasks on example input files, just to check that they work. The task at which your run is failing is called evtool. The purpose of evtool is to filter an event list on several criteria, and/or to merge together ...

Hi there, These zero values of RA/dec are one of the blemishes we have still to address in the pipeline. For some events, it is impossible to calculate their RA/dec; such events ought to be flagged or maybe have the RA/dec set to null, instead they are (still) set to zero. Apologies for this, we'll ...

Hi Jessica, almost certainly these values were not initialized in the code and therefore contain whatever random value was in the memory before. These particular keywords should have no effect on your data, but this of course should not happen, so I'll check the latest version of the task to make su...
