With the default setup, you could have up to 2^8 nodes and if this number
is exceeded, there should be an error message (or some sort of warning).

"Simulation program doesn't start" is weird.  Did you mean it started but
got terminated somehow (most likely due to segmentation fault)? If yes,
there's a chance you might not have enough memory for your simulation.
