  Dear Maki,

the problem was coming from the too small value set in WHAT(2) of
MGNFIELD. You have requested as upper limit for the boundary accuracy
1e-10cm during the tracking in the mangetic field. Therefore it was
forcing the code to make small steps to check for the boundary leading
to and overflow in the trackr common. Please increase the WHAT(2) e.g.
1e-4 and you will see that the message will disappear.
FLUKA was displaying only the first ten messages in order not to flood
your output with such messages.

Regards
Vasilis
