Hi Gary,

On the first point, are you compiling with -O3. Somehow not using -O3 is 
punishable by Flash3 with zero variable values :).
This is what I noticed.

I am getting zero values for my ENER_VAR, DENS_VAR, and other variables and my simulation is crashing after a call to EOS.  I have a 1-dimensional domain and am using the following boundary condition types

I also make a call to EOS in my Simulation_initBlock.F90 routine using temperature and density to obtain the pressure and energy.  I get the following error at the start of the flash run after several refinements have taken place (Nblockx=1)

I have attached my Config, Simulation_initBlock.F90, Grid_applyBCEdge.F90, and error output files as well in case they are of any help.
