[Gate-users] question about the long term running of the Gate

[Pranesh Raniga]

I have recently encountered this as well. I was previously using gate for 
simple sources and short duration scans but now when i run it for longer, 
even with a single source it crashes (Segmentation fault in teh coincidence 
sorter).
