^^^^^^^^^
This is way to short; try a value 5-10 times higher, and see if that helps.
(It is, however, likely that something else is wrong, but this is something
simple to try; also, set ntpr=1 when you have problems on very early steps,
and you might want to try to heat first to 100K or so.)
..good luck....dac
