jobs[i]['nevents'] += 1 IndexError: list index out of range

Dear Authors,

I am facing a different problem in running madgraph.

I get the following error:
bin/internal/amcatnlo_run_interface.py", line 1845, in update_jobs_to_run
    jobs[i]['nevents'] += 1
IndexError: list index out of range

I believe that it has to do with the number of jobs running.

I would be very grateful for any help.

I attach the log file here below.,

Thanks in advance.

Sylvie
