AIJ Stopping while running DP

Hi Karen,

[Update] Running differential photometry outside of the DP also exhibits periodic problems.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it stops!

I've been busy with AIJ all summer, processing thousands of measurements for the flare star EV Lac.  

However, in the last couple of weeks, AIJ will sometimes stop after setting off the differential photometry in the DP.  I'm typically trying to process six to eight hundred images.  The failure (multi-aperture canceled) usually occurs early on in the run.  The images are plate-solved.  It is not apparent to me why this cancellation takes place.  An example log file is below:
