Dear freesurfer specialists,
in 10 of our subjects the following problem occured: freesurfer exited with error in autorecon2 during EM registration. The protocol looks like this:

I also attach the whole recon-all.log file. We used a MacPro3,1 and Freesurfer version 4.2.0.
Thank you very very much for your help!
