ds0017 anatomical pipeline

Hi all, I'm having trouble with the anatomical pipeline here:

http://mne-tools.github.io/mne-biomag-group-demo/auto_scripts/01-run_anatomy.html#sphx-glr-auto-scripts-01-run-anatomy-ipy

When running mne.bem.convert_flash_mris, I get the following error:

---- Creating the parameter maps ----
Running subprocess: mri_ms_fitparms mef05_6.mgz parameter_maps
reading mef05_6.mgz...TE = 15.65, TR = 20.00, flip angle = 5.00
MRIfree: null pointer

which causes subsequent steps to fail.

All the other steps in that example pipeline work well. Any tips? I've checked my environmental variables related to freesurfer and mne, as well as folder permissions, and I think everything is as it should be.

Thanks for reporting this. I am cc-ing Jaakko who might be able to better
answer this question.

It appears to be an old freesurfer issue
<https://mail.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/pipermail//freesurfer/2013-May/029580.html>.
Could you perhaps try on another system with a different operating system
and check if you still get the same error?
