Hi,

I'd been having trouble with "recon-all -all -subjid [mysubject]", so I broke it down with -autorecon1 and -autorecon2.  -autorecon1 worked fine, it seems that the problem is somewhere in -autorecon2.  I've included the system information below, as well as the error message I got, and the recon-all log.  I've tried this with another subject as well and the same error occurs.  It'd be great if someone could tell me what the problem is and how I can fix it.
