circlator stuck

[jpinus]

My circlator (Circlator version: 1.5.5) run with the following command was running for 3 days and then stopped and never continued. Here is the last part of the log file:

Command:

circlator all /opt/extern/bremen/symbiosis/jkiefer/HiFi/nematoda/Astomonema/trimmed/asm/hifiasm/hifiasm/out.bp.p_ctg.fa\
 /opt/extern/bremen/symbiosis/jkiefer/HiFi/nematoda/Astomonema/trimmed/merged_trimmed.fastq.gz\
 circlator_hifiasm --threads $NSLOTS --verbose

the log file:

any idea how I can get circlator to finish?
