Could one of you who has a template feature in your generator please try this template?

Although it has 37 givens, I can't generate a board from it. The fact that it has 2 empty rows and 2 empty columns should not be the cause; I have other, smaller templates with that property that give no problem.
Thanks,

Generating a sudoku from this template is not possible.
You can have 2 empty rows and/or columns, but they need to be in different chutes (9x3 sections).
In your template, rows 4 & 6 are exchangable, so you will never find a unique solution. Same with columns 4 & 6.
