Thanks for the report, but Tom will probably need the entire log. Can you attach the entire contents of log.txt so he can take a look?

[smd111]

no problem

here

log.txt

This is not an error that I know how to fix as it doesn't give any message to help me. It looks like it's crashing right after it gets everything ready to go. I don't know what runs next, so Tom will have to help on this one.
