External Email - Use Caution        

Dear freesurfer team, 
I just tried to run recon-all on my T1 weighted images with the new freesurfer 8 version, but unfortunately the analysis stops with an error (it worked without any error using freesurfer 7). I've searched the list and no similar errors have been reported. Does anyone have any thoughts on how to trouble-shoot this one? 


the following problem occurred with image /bif/storage/storage1/projects/migban/bidsdata/derivatives/freesurfer_v8/sub-AH002_ses-01_T1w.nii/mri/orig.mgz :
Traceback (most recent call last):
