[Gate-users] Gate version 6.2 idling issue (a seed generator issue ?)

[Hermann Fuchs]

Hi

We have encountered similar issues with Gate 6.1. It seems to be somehow
connected to PET/SPECT. It doesn't occur in Radiotherapy simulations.

Our workaround, change the seed manually and restart. Usually this
works.

A more permanent solution would be greatly appreciated, though.

Best regards,
Hermann
