Hi,

your system of equations has a singularity at this point
and one of the components goes to infinity. The stepsize 
control detect the singularity and reduce the stepsize
until it is to small.

You should care full analyse the differential equation
if the singularity is not expected/obvious.

With an ordinary differntial equations solver it is
impossible to jump over the singularity, because
the most ode solver use a polynomial approximation
to the solution and you can't approximate  1/x with 
a polynomial of positive powers. 

Regards
  Jens
