Martin, as you guessed, EVP model blow-up appears to be unrelated to stripes. 
Model crashes because snow thickness > 10^5 m in a small inlet:

Weird that the LSR integration does not have the same problem in the Arctic 
domain but I have seen that happen around Antarctica with LSR.  Turning on 
SEAICEuseFlooding=.true. fixes this particular problem.

So I will set zMin=0, turn on SEAICEuseFlooding=.true., and restart test 
integrations.  Will you check in the zMin=0 change?
