Geant4.7.0 was compiled with g++ version:
g++ (GCC) 3.4.2 20041017 (Red Hat 3.4.2-6.fc3)

Comment 1 mhindi2 2004-12-28 11:50:59 CET

This is POSSIBLY related to bug #17976 in gcc 3.4/4.0 (summary:[3.4/4.0
Regression] Calls the dtor twice).

After upgrading my gcc libraries and tools to gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20041212 (Red Hat
3.4.3-10) and recompiling GEANT4.7.0 and CLHEP and my application with the newer
gcc the abort does not take place.

Comment 2 yoshidah 2005-01-09 02:03:59 CET

this may be related with intercoms command execution and
a bug in the g++ compiler.

Comment 3 Gabriele Cosmo 2005-02-07 02:40:59 CET

Resolved by upgrading compiler. Problem closed.
