stdout gets filled with a long string of "ab"

[Scott Daniel]

When I run PhoSim version 4.0 with the attached physics command file and InstanceCatalog, it prints the line ab\n over and over and over again instead of the number of photons per source.

Apparently, bitbucket will only let me attach one file. I have attached the InstanceCatalog. The command file is

backgroundmode 0 
raydensity 0.0 
perturbationmode 1 
trackingmode 0 
cleartracking 
clearclouds 
lascatprob 0.0 
contaminationmode 0 
diffractionmode 1 
straylight 0 
detectormode 0 
centroidfile 1

Scott, yeah this is a known bug that was fixed in later versions (maybe 4.0.1 even), so please use a later version.

If you don't want to use the absolute latest version for some reason (which is 5.0.2), and want to stick with the last series, say 4.0, then use the last patched version of that, which would be 4.0.4. The third number implies that those are bug fixes that people have found with updates to that release series.
