Error with organizing output for codeVA #31

Hi team,

I ran into the following error for the first time when running InsilicoVA with codeVA (codes as below)

codeVA(input.data
              , data.type = "WHO2016", model = "InSilicoVA"
              , subpop=subpop
              , Nsim=6000, jump.scale=0.2, auto.length = TRUE
              , dir=output.dir)

I solved it by increasing Nsim and having smaller jump.scale, but still not fully sure what's the real problem here.
Maybe the error message could be a bit more informative to help with debugging?

Thanks all!

I am having the same issue running on a ~10K record dataset (nrow=11832, col=354) with Nsim=10000:

It successfully ran when setting Nsim=9500, but took a little over 3 hours.

It seems most of the time was spent trying to re-iterate multiple times:
