[Gate-users] Run time error

[Alan Green]

Hello

I am running a fairly straight copy of the example gamma camera
simulation. I have installed GATE on the VMware virtualisation of
Scientific Linux with Geant4 as provided by IN2P3:
http://geant4.in2p3.fr/rubrique.php3?id_rubrique=8

The simulation seemed to be running fine (generating meaningful output
files) for just about three days when it crashed with the terminal
window full of messages of the form

Error in <TNtuple::Fill>: Failed filling branch:Gate.poskinene,
nbytes=-1
 This error is symptomatic of a Tree created as a memory-resident Tree
 Instead of doing:
    TTree *T = new TTree(...)
    TFile *f = new TFile(...)
 you should do:
    TFile *f = new TFile(...)
    TTree *T = new TTree(...)

I don't know if there was an original error message as the virtual
terminal's history file is full of these!

Has anybody come across this? Does anyone know what is wrong? More to
the point, does anyone know how to fix it?

Many thanks

Alan
