=====
A rather simpler series of steps to repro this issue:
1. Build and install aevol v5.0+ds-3
2. cp /usr/share/
3. gunzip -r *
4. cd workflow/wild_type
5. aevol_create
6. aevol_run -n 100 -p -1
7. aevol_propagate -o ../line1 <--- this step must crash
Note: Upstream aevol is at version 9. The Debian package seems to not have been updated for the last three years (still pointing to version 5).
