    Hi Flemming.
    
    In connection with simulation with DCs a.o. I recently noticed some bugs 
    in several DC classes which I have updated in my local BRAT based on 
    2.9.3. I will check my changes into CVS as soon as I have solved the 
    conflicts with the files currently in CVS. Most of the bugs relates to 
    static limits on arrays, resulting in overflow.
    
    If you wish to try with my code to see if it works better, you may find 
    it in my ~jens/brat on RCF. I have it installed temporarily in 
    ~jens/i386_linux24/{bin,lib,include...}, using also a local install of 
    ROOT compiled with debug information. Use the installed version or 
    compile your own BRAT based on what I have. I will start solving the 
    conflicts today. My updates relates to BrDriverDC, BrDCTrackingModule, 
    BrDC2DTrackFinder and BrLocalTrackingModule as far as I can recall.
    
    Hope this helps.
    
    Best wishes from
    Jens Ivar
