Description ersmark 2003-04-30 04:54:28 CEST

Using the LHEP_BERT physics list Geant4 gets stuck in an infinite loop. A program demonstrating the
problem (after a few thousand events) can be found at the URL below.  The loop that does not get broken
starts at line 170 or 193 in the referenced file.

Short simulation description:
Protons @ 202MeV incident along axis on a water cylinder with length 20cm and radius 10cm. The world
volume is "vacuum" at 3.e-18 Pa (as in some examples).

System info:
Geant 4.5.0 + patch 1; Packaging 2.1 ; shared granular libraries
RedHat 8.0 (gcc-2.95.3 (non native)) and Gentoo 1.2 (gcc-2.95.3 (native))

Problem still present when switching material to Aluminum. (see problem report #522
for the result when using water).
System: Geant4.5.2; Packaging 2.1; shared global libs.; Gentoo 1.2, gcc-2.95.3
