Stack trace problem after placeDesign command

[Shweta Malik]

Hi All,

I am experiencing this weird problem. My encounter exits out after the PlaceDesign Step and gives a stack trace to file message.

I have tried using encounter -64 -simplefont
But not helpful, I still get the same problem. Really need help on this one. Since, I see no error and it just exits out.
Here's what I get in my log file:

Pin Density = 0.731.
