Failing simtel files in dec_931

[vuillaut]

Hi,

List of files:

/fefs/aswg/data/mc/DL0/LSTProd2/TrainingDataset/Protons/dec_931/sim_telarray/node_corsika_theta_31.589_az_122.714_/output_v1.4/simtel_corsika_theta_31.589_az_122.714_run192.simtel.gz
/fefs/aswg/data/mc/DL0/LSTProd2/TrainingDataset/Protons/dec_931/sim_telarray/node_corsika_theta_31.589_az_122.714_/output_v1.4/simtel_corsika_theta_31.589_az_122.714_run229.simtel.gz

These files seem corrupted and fail when processed with lstchain, giving this error:

Would it be possible to either reprocess these files or (/and in the mean time) delete them, please?

Hi @vuillaut ,
I deleted the 2 files. Thanks for spotting them.
