Possible weirdness with 1D NXcanSAS data

Description
During use of 4.0.1 in our training course this morning several students generated the attached error whilst fitting an ellipsoid * HayterMSA to the SANS from a 0.5% SDS in D2O solution.
There were two things in common: (i) they were all using identical lightweight Dell desktops (ie, I guess it could be a CPU/GPU issue???), and (ii) the data they were loading had been stored in the NXcanSAS .h5 format (actual file attached).
When I asked them to repeat their actions but using the equivalent data from the SasView test folder they could not generate the error.
I have been unable to replicate the error on my office desktop (where SAS_OPENCL=none).
Anyone any ideas what caused this error?

This is just the usual response from fitting that goes to a bad place - LM is particularly prone to this. However in this case the values used to start were clearly bad: the charge was negative and the temperature set to > 6100 K! The default min was set to 0 at some point prior to 4.1 and the default max temp has been set to something sensible: 450 K.
Will close this ticket but see about reopening ticket 820 or creating another one to capture the fact that a more useful pop up would be nice.
