job terminated with failures: [('oqs/5/h/nhzrd:failed/i', 2)]

Dear Developers,

I am using Openquake version 0.9.2 on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. I have the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Job 5 failed

This error is overcome by changing the Rupture Mesh Spacing in job file from 5Km to 3Km, considering that 5Km is too large a value for the source model in this case. Still the error log is incomprehensible for the end user. A more user friendly error log will be much more useful. Please consider the request.

Thank you for your assistance,
