[Clas_offline] Fwd: unresolved issue with user_ana and Centos62 batch farm

[Silvia Niccolai]

Hello Georgie,
This problem was found and finally solved a year or more ago by Paul Mattione (see email below). I thought that Paul's fix had been put into svn, but maybe it didn't...which version of user_ana are you using?
Best regards
Silvia
