I have not yet reproduced it, and I don't know what causes it. It would be helpful if you could produce a stack backtrace or similar. On the other hand, if this segfault only appears for very inefficient configurations, then there is no urgent need to debug this, as people won't be interested in using such configurations anyway.

Also, I am getting this error with all my BBH parameter files I have tried, so its kind of important. Is there a way to produce backtrace file using simfactory? 

Carpet should write a backtrace file into the output directory if there is a segfault.  Do you see backtrace files in

sim/output-0000/sim/backtrace.*.txt

?
