.... bus errors are usually problems connected with the operating
system/hardware of the computer you are running on and normally they have
nothing to do with Fluka. On our cluster we get similar errors (very rare)
if the node the batch job is running on temporarily loses the nfs
connection to the master node, but I do not know if this applies to your
case as well
