I am having problem when running the Monte Carlo script. The script seems to fail after only a few simulations but it does not give me any error message, it just says 'killed'. I am running it on 126 participants (2 groups of 63) and I have tried it on a number of different measures (sulc, area etc.). I thought it may be an space issue but I cleared all other files but that did not seem to make any difference. 

This is what is printed out on the terminal:

Any suggestions that may help?
