[Rivet] Jimmy stops with CODE 300

[Jonathan Butterworth]

This looks like the same problem Frank saw which I don't think we 
managed to resolve.

What is happening is that HERWIG is thinking there have been too many 
warnings (via a test on the MAXER parameter) and is stopping the run. 
This is really annoying behaviour which is usually fixed by setting 
MAXER to a very large number (or better, to something like 20% of the 
number of events requested).

However, from a brief inspection of the code, it looked like AGILe was 
in fact doing this properly, so I could not understand why we saw the 
problem still.

I don't currently have a working set up so can't test this. But: are you 
using a local herwig release or afs/genser? In either case, are you sure 
the common block size is consistent (MAXHEP)?

Cheers,
Jon
