[ADMB Users] inner maxg = 0 infinite loop in ADMB-RE

[Motoki Wu]

Hi ADMBeings,

>From simulated data, I am trying to estimate a delay-difference model
with a Beverton-Holt stock recruitment curve with process error on the
recruitment. Many times when my catch exceeds the biomass the inner
gradient becomes 0 and loops indefinitely.

I know this has been somewhat dealt with before, but I was wondering
if the infinite loop is something intentional. I fully concede that my
model could be wrong, but the current situation makes it difficult to
test the code for a wide-ranging set of inputs w/o the need for manual
intrusion.

I've archived a specific instance at:
http://students.washington.edu/apewu/compare/
"simulate6_RE_h05b" for the infinite loop
"simulate6_RE_h07" for something that works

Thanks
