MDM Trouble Report for 2017 May 04

Telescope: 2.4m
Observer(s): Stephan Frank (Ohio State)
Instrument: OSMOSB4k

Problem(s) Encountered:
Despite the fact that I had not even closed the window from which I had
successful run 'obsctrtask' yesterday without any problems, said program
decided to not cooperate today.

Closing the current terminal, and restarting the program in various other
directories did not help, neither did the transfer of the .par as suggested
the online manual.

In the end, I resorted to drive the objects onto the slit by  hand 
and applying some translational and rotational transformations. Not ideal,
but at least do-able in a reasonable amount of time -- hence, at most I lost maybe
20min in total.

Below is the detailed error message when the program crashed :
Task osctrtask is running...

Acquisition image number (0:100000) (68): 
Slit image number (0:100000) (65):
