Summary0000094: hdgeant crashes when adding EM background
DescriptionWhen running hdgeant with BGGATE and BGRATE enabled so that additional beam photons will be simulated in addition to the events read from an external file, it seems to crash immediately. It is unclear if this is the first event or if it gets through one or two before the crash. The "10 events" message does not get printed prior to the crash.

Problem was not noticed for data set with very weak thrown photon that doesn't escape target.

I am unable to reproduce the problem, starting from a clean checkout and build of Rev. 7915. Can you post a complete copy of your control.in file that you used to create the error?

I am able to successfully run the executable that is in Richard's area of the scratch disk, but still get crashes when running an executable I built.

I have tried building my own version of cernlib using the gridmake script from Richard's area the scratch disk and still get crashes.

I have tried linking to Richard's cernlib binaries on the scratch disk and still get crashes.

It seems the crashes are:
1.) not directly related to the cernlib version
2.) not due to settings in the environment

This turned out to be due to a stale hdds version.

The problem was traced by systematically linking against packages in Richard's packages directory on the scratch disk (cernlib, sim-recon, hdds) until a working executable was obtained.
