Response
This error can occur if the system has not been allowed to merge and has accumulated more stands than the stand limit. Make sure that merging is enabled, and that your MERGE MAX SIZE is not set to such a low number that the system cannot merge (the default of 48GB is recommended for MERGE MAX SIZE). Merging reduces the number of stands in a forest, and merging is needed to get past this error.
