Summary

Back-tracking simulations worked fine for me with OPAL 2.4, but with OPAL 2021.1 they are not stopping anymore and go to infinity!

For example this input file used to work fine, and stop at s=0.0, but now it just goes forever slurm-120179.out.

I can't figure out why this is happening. When I have time I will check at which commit it broke, somewhere between 2.4 and 2021.1. Not sure if it is related to #675 (closed). Any ideas?
