    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Dear SS3 team,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I run into an issue with the SS3.30 (lastest) constant catch
  forecasting, which doesn't appear to be working.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I simply set up a 10-year forecast with catch set to zero for all
  fleets. The SS3.24 forecast works as intended which shows SSB rapidly
  increasing (see attached SS3.24-forecast.png).&lt;br /&gt; But the forecast
  for SS3.30 files failed - the SSB crashed a few years into the
  projection period (see attached SS3.30-forecast.png).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Parameter estimates from the 3.30 are the same as the 3.24 (I used
  the ss_trans.exe for the conversion).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Running the forecast with alternative catch levels under 3.30 had the
  same issue&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have attached the input files for SS3.24 and the problem is very
  easy to reproduce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hope you could help me look into this issue - (Most likely I have
  missed some configuration in the 3.30 forecast file?)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dan&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
