Inconsistent `terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)` messages

[liamtoney]

I've installed SETSM on an Apple MacBook Pro w/ M2 Max chip (32 GB memory). I had to make edits to the Makefile to do this (see bottom of message), but they were limited to pointing to the correct dependencies — and after making the changes, the code appeared to compile correctly (e.g., the setsm -help command runs as expected after installation).

setsm runs inconsistently on my machine. Sometimes, it will complete a run with no errors. Other times, it will fail, always with the same error:

terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

Example command that causes failure (sometimes):

-image ../23APR17020120-P1BS-016359594010_01_P001.TIF -image ../23APR17020206-P1BS-016359594010_01_P001.TIF -outpath test_output  -outres 20 -tilesize 1000

I'm trying to understand if this is related to the Apple silicon hardware, which would be understandable, or if this is a bug encountered on other platforms. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

I'm not seeing the above error on the Linux cluster I'm running the code on, so I imagine this is indeed likely due to Apple silicon specifics. Please feel free to close this issue — it seems like while it's possible to run SETSM on Apple silicon, it's a bit of a stretch.
