That explains a lot about my problem subjects. 

Just to confirm, I should use mri_label2label with fsaverage as the source subject and the subject in question as the target? Having this run for all of my subjects will then allow me to use mris_anatomical_stats for each subject. 

Thanks for the help!

The label that you sent applies to fsaverage. If you want to use it on a different subject, you should map it to that subject with mri_label2label

The labels are built from areas that showed between-group functional differences. I am able to view the label on the subject in question in freeview.

Maybe I'm looking at the wrong place in the output of mris_info? Or perhaps in the wrong file. I looked at "nvertices" in our "lh.white" file.

    how did you create the label? If it has more vertices than the

    segfaults, you might just get garbage and never know it.

        Hi Doug,

        It appears that the subject I'm having the PHC issue with has
        fewer than 163798 vertices - it has 123249 vertices - however,
        it seems that all of our subjects have fewer vertices and I do
        not run into an error with any other subjects with this label.

        Also, I'm able to load the label onto my data in freeview
        without any issue. I'm having some problems opening my
        surfaces with tksurfer on my lab desktop, though. Should I
        upload the subjects in question so you can take a look?

        Thanks!

            Nothing looks like it is wrong with that label. Can you verify
            that the white surface has not been changed since the
        label was
            created? Check how many vertices the white surface has with
            mris_info. The PHC label references a vertex index as high as
            163798. If the white surface does not have that many
        veritices,
            then that could cause the problem.

                Hi Doug,

                Attached are the three labels I'm having an issue with
        (each
                with a different subject). These are built from areas
        that we
                found functional differences between a healthy control
        group
                and a MDD group. I was going to take a look at the
        anatomical
                stats to see if there are thickness or volume
        differences as well.

                I am also going to review the white surface soon as Bruce
                suggested.
