  Clothsim problem

I downloaded clothsim version 0.4.0 and I'm trying to
create a banner waving in the wind. I've tried with
simulation steps 5000,10000 and 20000 but everytime
I get a message saying that 1.04625e+301 (or some similarly
large number) is not finite. followed by

      0 [main] CLOTH 244807 handle_exceptions: Exception:
STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATIO
N
    867 [main] CLOTH 244807 stackdump: Dumping stack trace to
CLOTH.EXE.stackdum
p

my input file was as follows

global_settings {
 step 0.25
 wind <0,-0.3,0>
}

cloth {
 x_size 50
 y_size 50
 dist 2/50
 stiffness 0.1
 weight 0.5
 position {<0,0,1>,<1,0,1>,<1,0,0>}
 attach {0,0,<0,0,0.17>}
 attach {1,0,<1,0,-0.17>}
}


Am I doing something wrong? I assume there's something
about the above input that the simulator doesn't like as I can run
the flag and sample files. I've tried on both a P3 450 and a P2 300
both with 128 MB ram.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
