I have subjects exiting with errors and I'm not sure why. The best clue I have is a line indicating "Too many levels of symbolic links" and an inability to read lh.BA1.label. Here are the last few lines of output:

Can anyone tell me what is happening here? _______________________________________________ Freesurfer mailing list Freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/mailman/listinfo/freesurfer
