draj=0.0 makes madgraph5 fail to reach target number of events

Dear MadGraph5 team,

Currently I'm trying to generate following process,
p p > a a
p p > a a j
with the model loop_sm(Actually I couldn't see model-dependence of the problem what I want to ask about).

However, when I set `draj' in the run_card.dat 0.0, madevent fails to reach target number of events after finishing refine.
Meanwhile, I want to make draj as small as possible as I can.
Is there any way to take draj=0.0 while madevent still works well?

Now I'm using the version 2.5.5 and I attach command file for running madevent, log file, and run_card.dat
