Hello,
I am using the latest Geant4 release. During a simple simulation of 60 MeV protons on a small Tantalum box, using the QGSP_BIC_AllHP physics list there are some most unusual error messages:

I know these are meant to be only warning messages, but keeping in ming that the projectiles are 60 MeV protons, these messages are talking about differences in energy of ~67 GeV and proton energies of 984 (MeV?)…
Also most simulation runs die without a succesfull output file creation.
I have tried also QGSP_INCLXX_HP, where the error messages are more sensible, but also present in a large number.
I would be very grateful for any suggestions.
Thank you.
