Internal error found in spectre during license check-out.
    FATAL (SPECTRE-18): Segmentation fault. Encountered a critical error during simulation. Run `mmsimpack' (see mmsimpack -h for detailed usage information) to package the netlist and log files as a compressed tar file. Then, contact your Cadence representative or submit a service request via Cadence Online Support, including the tar file and any other information that could help identify the problem.
