[Blackmax] Running BlackMax at 8 TeV failed

[Shaoqi Hou]

Hi Prof. Issever,

I ran BlackMax with the newest parameter.txt sent to you. BlackMax stalled
after about 2 min, 1481 events simulated. No more events were simulated
further. Please download the two attachments. Thank you very much!

Best Wishes

Shaoqi
