Description Luciano Pandola 2014-01-20 16:52:59 CET

* Only applies to the MT mode * 

After changes in the geometry, which trigger the re-initialization of the physics processes by the RunManager, the worker threads are not re-initialized. It happens in particular when the total number of materials is not changed, but different materials are selected for the geometry. The physics tables in the master thread are correctly re-initialized, but the re-initialization is not triggered for the workers.

It produces a segfault crash when using the Penelope EM builder. Also other EM builders are affected: no crashes, but physics results are not correct due to the incomplete re-initialization of the physics tables.
