sPHENIX discussion of software

[pinkenburg <pinkenburg AT bnl.gov>]

Hi Mike et al,

just to get this info out there - there are still issues which crash the 
evaluator. It didn't show up in my single particle test but when using 
the default macro with 10 particles it does. I located a few places 
which need to adapt to the 64 bit hit ids which also should make the 
calorimeter evaluators functional again.

Sorry for the premature announcement

Chris
