Hello,

I recently had the error :
st_prep_line() move time is NAN

It was during manual motion (typing command using a custom made software).
Below is the only extract I got from the logs :

Note that I've been able to run several long job (couple hours) since this error without reproducing it.
I just wanted to mention this.

My settings (I'm not sure they were exactly the same when running into the prep_null error...)
