SF Residential prototype models - heated basement errors

I'm trying to simulate the single-family residential prototypes, and I get the error below for all of the heated basement models. Here's the CZ7 IDF + EPW for reference.

I've tried multiple code years, IECC and ASHRAE, and get the same error for all of the heated basement prototypes. Does anyone know how to simulate these?

   ** Severe  ** Output:PreprocessorMessage="GroundTempCalc - Basement" has the following Severe conditions:
   **   ~~~   ** EPlusOutput: Calculations have resulted in invalid results (NAN). (Could be divide by zero.
   **   ~~~   ** Overflows. Other causes.) Check Input Parameters.  Hint: Start from defaults for each object
   **   ~~~   ** and work forward.

   ** Severe  ** Output:PreprocessorMessage="GroundTempCalc - Basement" has the following Fatal condition:
   **   ~~~   ** Program terminates due to preceding condition(s).

   **  Fatal  ** Preprocessor condition(s) cause termination.
