[MINC-users] failures when running N3 with small smoothing distances

These warnings are harmless.

This not so harmless. :)  In this case it was an esoteric bug that was
squashed in ebtks a while back.

This can mean a few things but I would first suggest that you use the
latest versions of ebtks and N3. Which versions of these are you
currently running and an which platform?
