Problem Note 19756: Incorrect results when lists contain more than 128 method blocks
If more than 128 method blocks in either of the following lists are used
in a single runproject, the results will likely contain wrong answers:
1) project and transformation methods
2) project, scoring, pricing, mitigation, postprice, and postvar methods
The following symptoms suggest that you have encountered this problem.
If the methods stop running for the first list, only the analysis
variables will perturb in the remaining market states.
If transformation methods stop running in the base case, the following
error might appear in the log:
ERROR: A link depth error occurred.
The statement was:
runmethod Trans256;
ERROR: Error occurred in RFT method 'Trans256'.
If the methods stop running in the second list, the following error might be produced:
ERROR: A link depth error occurred.
The statement was:
runmethod Price98;
ERROR: Error occurred in pricing method 'Price98'.

The only workaround is to limit the number of method blocks that are used within a runproject to at most 128.
