Re: Re: forcing domain decomposition after deleting particles

Thanks, I think I figured out what I was doing wrong. When I copied
the non-accreted particles into a temporary holding list, I freed and
re-allocated P to the wrong size (need All.MaxPart instead of NumPart,
and All.MaxPartSph instead of N_gas). Gadget seems to be happy as
long as I have

P = malloc(All.MaxPart * sizeof(struct particle_data));

and

SphP = malloc( All.MaxPartSph * sizeof(struct sph_particle_data));

...despite the fact that there may be fewer particles than All.MaxPart
or All.MaxPartSph in that list, because I deleted them. I'm not
really sure why this works, but now it runs and dumps as expected.

Thanks for your help!
- Dave
