EventGenerationError

 I'm currently using your wonderfull software to do part of my thesis work and I have a question about an error which I'm recieving during event generation.
 
-Firstlly I'm using Feynrules to generate a custom model file for madgraph. In this model I'm adding a heavy majorana neutrino to the SM. I done several test runs of various process in order to check against know results and everything seems to work properly. I am also using pythia and pgs, both of which are called properly and seem to produce reasonable output. However when I use ./generate_events for the process e-p>N>jjj (where N is the newly defined heavy neutrino) and I request say 8000 events in the run card I get errors such as

 and in the end I only get a fraction of the events I request. Each of my collaborators, working on different systems from their own model files are also getting similar errors.

 P.S. I apologize in advance if this topic isn't in the correct area.
