The default value for HydroBase::temperature_evolution_method is "none"
(see
http://einsteintoolkit.org/thornguide/EinsteinBase/HydroBase/documentation.html#TBL-15-7-1) so not setting it explicitly is identical to setting it to "none".

Can you provide the full log output (and ideally a parfile to reproduce
the issue) for stdout and stderr as well as any backtract.X.txt files
created?

If it crashes with a SEGFAULT or similar that would indeed be a bug.
Note that most of the LORENE data has been used with equations of
state that do not use temperature (usually tabulated ones only) so if
you are using one of LORENE's sample data sets and set this parameter
then even if the code apparently succeeds the evolution may not be
correct or what you expect.

Yours,
Roland
