[Gate-users] merging errors

[Lena Thomas]

Dear Gateusers,

I used the Gate jobsplitter (gjs) to split my PET-simulation across 10 
cpus (on a ubuntu 64 bit machine). The simulation finished without any 
error message. To merge the root output files I used the Gate jobmerger 
(gjm), but I got warnings about overlapping singles  and finally a 
*** Break *** segmentation violation
 Generating stack trace...

I tried the segmentiaion violation with the gnu debugger and got this:

$ gdb gjm
