Hi Volker,

Did you find some time to look at the problem? I would like to have this
run finished a.s.a.p. So I further modified the code (see the Gadget4
folder for changes with git diff):
FMM factor is increased to 50
- MaxOnFetchStack = std::max<int>(0.1 * (Tp->NumPart + NumPartImported),
TREE_MIN_WORKSTACK_SIZE);
+ MaxOnFetchStack = std::max<int>(50 * (Tp->NumPart + NumPartImported), 10
* TREE_MIN_WORKSTACK_SIZE);
and the tree_min_workstack_size in gravtree.h is also increased:
-#define TREE_MIN_WORKSTACK_SIZE 100000
+#define TREE_MIN_WORKSTACK_SIZE 400000

With these modifications, the code did not show the `Can't even process a
single particle` problem in fmm, but crashed with an MPI_Sendrecv problem
at subfind. See the job slurm.3757634 for details. Maybe this is connected
with the previous SUBFIND construction problem, just too many particles in
the halo??
If there is no easy fix, I probably will exclude the SUBFIND part to finish
the run which is a pity as the full merge tree needs to be redone.

Thank you.

Best,
Weiguang
