Dear Freesurfer experts,

I have recently installed Freesurfer onto a VirtualBox Linux environment, and had no problems running the supplied practice subject, 'Bert', all the way through reconstruction.  However, when I started trying to analyze my own subject's, recon-all keeps exiting just after the "mri_nu_correct.mni" step, without any specific error message.  I have copied and pasted the error message from the unsuccessful, and successful run below, as well as the output from the "bugr" command.  I realize that tcsh is out of date, and I have tried updating it (which I am not sure if I was successful or not), but I got the same message with the successful run so I don't think that is the issue.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Devin
