Problem 915

I changed the target in examples/novice/N02 to C12, added G4NeutronHPElastic() to the physics list,
constructed  G4IonConstructor::ConstructParticle();, and fired 50 eV neutrons at the target.

After almost 100 events I get the following Segmentation fault

Any idea where my mistake is?
