I have run into a similar problem in attempting to run an ancestral journal
narrative. Somewhere around 34 or 35 generations the system bombs. In this
case it keeps extracting people. I let it run for about 12 hours one time
and have way more people indicated as extracted than I have in my entire
data set. Eventually had to abort.
