Nailed it. You're missing
pop.subpop.0.species.max-gene.0 = ... (whatever you want) ...
This is tickling a bug in IntegerVectorSpecies. The old version of
IntegerVectorSpecies checked for max gene #0 to determine if it
should be doing per-gene min/max. The new version doesn't do this,
but some code in ECJ still makes this assumption. It's something
that wasn't fully cleaned out.
Try setting max-gene 0 to something, and that may work fine. In the
mean time, we need to fix it.
