Modelling the AD734 in LTSpice

I'm trying to model a circut containing the AD734 in LTSpice.

Analog Devices offers a Spice model, and I've used LTSpice's automatic symbol generation to produce a symbol, and renamed - but not renumbered - the pins.

This apparently came up last year - 04-04-2010 - and Helmut Sennewal apparently sorted out JosephKK.

My test circuit runs for about 18 microsecond, then goes beserk, with the output voltage falling below -100V and the +/-15V supply voltages dropping abruptly at the same time.

The AD734.cir file from Analog Devices is dated 1992, and loooks exactly the same as the one Josephkk posted.

Is there any way to get it to work?
