Description Mike Rinaldi 2011-10-27 00:49:34 CEST 
Beginning with geant 4.9.4.p01  the ascii geometry parser does not seem to process units at all.  Any tag with a unit causes a crash.

For example  

:P Param1 10*cm
 or 
:MATE_MEE mat 300*eV

both cause a crash.   If the unit is removed, such as 

:P Param1 100

then the parser works as before.

I believe the problem maybe in G4tgrUtils.cc, specifically, in the method

G4double G4tgrUtils::GetDouble( const G4String& str, G4double unitval ) 

There was a difference in how this method parses units from 4.9.3

The fix will be included in the next patch.
