[Eeglablist] Error while precomputing STUDY: NaN values in cluster.sets

Hi Tarik,

Indeed this seems to be a long standing bug - it has stalled my analysis
for two weeks now... I have found one similar post on Bugzilla a couple of
years ago, but it was not resolved, and so I posted it again there (
https://sccn.ucsd.edu/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1822), but it hasn't been
looked at by the admins...

As for EEGLab not knowing which dataset belongs to which subject, it must
be due to some non-obvious field. At study creation, I tag all datasets
with subject and condition information, like this:
{ 'index' 1 'load' '/EEG/RF01/Epoched/RF01_S 1.set' 'subject' 'RF01'
'condition' 'IAllo' }

This, however, is puzzling because I made sure to do ICA on each subject's dataset *before* epoching, meaning that all sets for individual conditions share the same weights for a subject. After getting this error I even tried to copy the weights (EEG.icawinv + EEG.icasphere + EEG.icaweights + EEG.icachansind) from the unepoched set to all the epoched ones.
