Bug Description

There is a severe bug in the demographic model.
I've tested the attached config file that should result in a population of constant size N=427 that starts in the age-structure equilibrium.
The simulation yielded a pop size of around 600 and A-S chart shows a population without newborns (??) and higher prop of age=1 individuals than expected (the same for other age classes.

I'will attach a spreadsheet with th expected values for all age classes at equilibrium as reference of what should yield this basic scenario.

PS. In the genepop files there are not newborns (individuals with age (0) )

This is the file describing the expected values for all age classes with the tested vital rates and demography. Note that br here is half the fecundity of females in our model.
