Hi,

I ran into trouble with an infinite loop as well, but for me, it was
always the last slice to be processed. This happened because there was
no output stored for one slice (slice 0 for me, because I had aborted
processing at that point), and so the ouputs couldn't be merged. When I
started bedpost again, the software seems to have looked up the slices
that already had log-files, and didn't process these. And of course it
couldn't merge afterwards because the slice still had no output!
Solution was easy for me: delete (or rename) the bedpost directory
(maybe deleting the log-file would help as well, but this came to my
mind too late...)
Hope this helps you.

Kerstin
