Sorry, I think I figured the issue out based on the previous conversations. Just for the record, I sourced freesurfer 5.3 and resaved orig.mgz for this subject using the following command:

mri_convert mri.orig mri.orig

Apparently it corrected the problem.

Hi Surfers, I get the following error when I use tksurfer for one of our subjects:

znzTAGskip: tag=1830834290, failed to calloc 1834378240 bytes!

To clarify, this error is only limited to freesurfer version 6.0 and 7. But version 5.3 works fine with the same subject.

Regards
