HI Mina,
I see you might Importance biasing and RR.
Beware that the Russian Roulette massacre happens in the middle (defined by
the ENTRY) of the steps, and not on a fixed region boundary (as the
importance factor you defined in your previous mail)

It would be nice to see your custom usimbs.f

Best,
Vittorio
