Hi Charlie,

seems to be exactly the same problem as mine. Meanwhile I found a 
workaround. I created my own reference physics list in Geant4 which I 
then call with Gate
(/gate/physics/addPhysicsList MY_REF_PHYSICSLIST). Unfortunately this is 
difficult and time consuming, but is the easiest solution for me right 
now, although I cannot recommend it in general. Anyway, if you need, I 
can send you an instruction how to do it.

Cheers,
Andreas
