I put in a smlrho runtime parameter, and yes it did not fix the problem.

The values after Eos_getData and before the call to Eos are the same as what is listed in the error (produced right after, during the call to Eos_putData). So I'm assuming the problem is in the Simulation_initBlock.

Can you give me a little more direction on how to make sure Simulation_initBlock is handling this correctly? I'm not sure I understand why this subroutine would "not expect to be invoked on such a coarse block."

If it helps, I used the Sod simulation as a model for writing my Simulation_initBlock.

Thanks again for your time.
