Hi all,
I am truing to calibrate an image that has a very strong source at the center (3C273). But killMS gets stuck at the first step. Can you please point me if there is a way around or how to identify the issue. Relevant portion of .err and .out are as follows. This is very similar to the issue #16 .

- 01:00:49 - killMS                       | In batch mode, running killMS on the following MS:
