Caveats

Problem with large files [New] (18 Sep 2012)

chandra_repro uncompresses files into memory to be written back out to disk. With large files, this can exhaust system resources and cause the script to fail with a non-informative error message 

Unable to read evt1 file
# chandra_repro (09 April 2012): ERROR read error

Workaround:

chandra_repro will use the uncompressed version of the file so the easiest work around it to gunzip the files before running chandra_repro 

unix% gunzip primary/*gz secondary/*gz
