Occasional crash-and-burn when reconnecting

[d-lamb]

Time-dependent runs with reconnection occasionally crash-and-burn. Problems with memory allocation? (originally signed @drzowie 15:06, 28 January 2009 (MST))

A related observation: runs that involve reconnection are not exactly reproducible. They give slightly different answers each time. It is not yet clear whether that is due to reconncetion not being reliable, or to memory not being treated correctly in some way. My money is on the latter, since that would also explain the crash-and-burn problem.
