Description Sangryul.Ro 2002-01-30 03:07:59 CET

I asked some help to helpdesk.
After they examine my problem, they recommended to report to you.

During execution it abruptly exited with a message "out of memory".
The log file and output file is under my public directory.
(/afs/cern.ch/user/s/sro/public)
The names of the files are xg4.o and xg4.e.

Comment 1 Gabriele Cosmo 2002-01-30 08:42:59 CET

Looking at the log-files provided by the user one can identify two possible
sources of problems, which are related with the user application, not to Geant4
itself.
- In xg4.e (error-log) errors like the following are printed:
    MSTimeID::_fillDB-S-CouldNot update map file
    /afs/cern.ch/exp/ams/Offline/AMSDataDir/DataBase/.TRDPedestals.0.map
  The user should verify with experts in the experiment (the authors of the
  application?) what exactly this means and implies.
- In xg4.o (output-log) the following warning is printed at the beginning of
  the run (physics list initialisation?):
    AMSG4Physics::_init-I-147 Geant3 Particles Found
    AMSG4Physics::_init-I-146G4ParticlesFoundOutOf147
  In xg4.e (error-log) the following error is printed:
    AMSG4Physics-WG4IonNotFound 113 703.572 12000
The message "HepRotation::rotateAxes: bad axis vectors" originates from CLHEP
due to an incorrect transformation. It might be a side-effect of the
problems above or (?) a user geometry problem, a more detailed debug dump
would be required in this case.
