Hanging job when fixing parameters for lalinferencemcmc
I tried to submit a job using lalinferencemcmc, which fixed most of the parameters but allowed a_spin1 and a_spin2 to vary. The job seemed to hang for a few days and not output anything. The error was that I fixed chirp mass = 11.655 (mass1=28, mass2=7) and the prior started at 8. Perhaps it would be a good idea to have an error message which displays this and quits before it just hangs, wasting computational resources? Below are the relevant parts of the .ini file
