Gadget crashes at IC readin

Hi all,

     as the subject line already gives away, Gadget crashes when I try
to read in an input file.

The error is:
I/O error (fread) on task=0 has occured: end of file
task 0: endrun called with an error level of 778

I found a posting in this mailing list from 2006(!) with the same error:
_http://wwwmpa.mpa-garching.mpg.de/gadget/gadget-list/0098.html_


but the solution seems to include some magic:
"So, the good news is that Gadget2 runs with the LCDM gas simulation,
but I don't have a clue why it didn't before!"
(from the above posting)

Did anyone else in the last 9 years have the same problem and knows how
to fix it?
I included the following extra lines in the routine my_fread to get some
extra information:
         printf("nread = %zd, nmemb = %zd\n", nread, nmemb);
         printf("fread = %zd\n", fread(ptr, size, nmemb, stream));
         printf("size = %zd\n", size);

and in the file read_ic.c, I included this line (as suggested by Volker
in the 2006 discussion)

     printf("task=%d blocknr=%d bytes_per_blockelement=%d npart=%d\n",
            ThisTask, blocknr, bytes_per_blockelement, npart);
     fflush(stdout);


Please find below the corresponding output. It comes from a one core
test run, but it crashes with the same error message when I run it on 4
cores.
The IC file seems to be okay, but is there an easy way to find out if
the file is damaged to exclude this possibility?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Sylvia
