Supervised admixture doesn't converge (runs indefinitely) when not all individuals' sex assigned in fam file #5

Hi ,

I ran supervised admixture 1.3.0 (K=3) using an Ubuntu 20.04.6 LTS system on a dataset of 801 ancient only human individuals (with --haploid=*) and found the algorithm still running 5 days after job submission (iteration #11346 and counting). I noticed I had some individuals in my fam file whose sex was unassigned. I assigned their sex, re-ran the same command and the job finished in 23 minutes after just 31 iterations.

Not sure if this is a bug or an issue on my end, but seems like some unexpected behaviour people should look into and/or be aware of.
