Dear FreeSurfer team,

after editing the brainmask.mgz (manually or with gcut), brain.finalsurfs.manedit.mgz and/or adding control points, recon-all was rerun in a loop for several subjects with the respective options

-autorecon-pial (1) or

-autorecon2 -autorecon3 (2),

which resulted in the following error for only some of the subjects (while others worked fine):

Attached are the respective recon-all.log files in case they may be helpful. We also could not detect any similar post in the mailing list.

Thank you and Happy Easter greetings from Berlin,
