 In TerminationTrigger file.c, there is this code:
file = fopen (get_termination_file(), "w");
   fclose (file);
This leads to a segmentation fault if the file cannot be created, e.g. due
 to a missing directory in the path (for example if the parameter file has
 been copied from another cluster and uses an absolute path).  I would add
 an error check here to abort if file == 0, but wanted to check that this
 was the right thing to do.
