[Clas_offline] problem with particle decay in gsim

Dear All,

I am having some problems with particle decay in gsim
For example, if I let K0 decay in gsim, I will have very few Pip and Pim 
reconstructed after cooking, even charged particles reconstructed are very few.
The branching ratio is not even close what it should be.
Some other channels have been tested also, like Lambda1520, Sigma1385, Phi1020.
None of them has correct result after decay in gsim and cooking.
The same cooking code is use to cook production runs for eg3.
So the problem seems related to gsim only.

One MCTK bank generated by fsgen for reachtion gamma + d -> K0 + Lambda1520
and Lambda1520 is allowed to decay to P K- in fsgen and K0 should decay in gsim
