this is very unlikely. At line 1192 there is a division by rho
(= rho up + rho down), but rho > small = 1.d-30 (there is a check
at the beginning of the function). There is also a division by another
quantity (dz) that is never smaller than 1.d-6 by construction.
You may try to increase the value of "small" to something less
small, e.g. 1.d-10
