Hi David -<br>
<br>
does it make sense to open a "general ticket" in Mantis about
the more general<br>
affects of this issue? <br>

Hi All,<br>
<br>
I've just committed a fix to the seg. fault/hang problem based
on Richard's analysis. This is slightly different than the fix
Richard suggested. It avoids the 80bit/64bit comparison issue by
pre-calculating the values to be compared rather than doing it in
the sort algorithm itself. This should also speed things up a
little since DVector3::Perp() is not being called repeatedly
during the sort for the same object. <br>
<br>
I have been able to run through my one reliably-problematic
event using the new code without any problem. If anyone notices an
issue, please let me know.<br>
<br>
This problem has been marked as resolved in Mantis.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
-David<br>

Modified:
trunk/sim-recon/src/libraries/TRACKING/DTrackCandidate_factory_CDC.cc
Log:
This is a fix for the seg. fault/hang problem that has been plaguing us
for the last ~4 months. It precalculates the values used in the comparison
in the SortIntersections routine to avoid issues with values calculated
with 80bit precision being compared with values having been copied to and
from a 64bit register. See the report on the GlueX wiki here:
