Comment 4 for bug 1219758

Hi Keith, liangshang

Thanks I found a way to reproduce the problem.
The problem occurs ONLY if the generation of the directory is done like MG4
(i.e. doing cp -r Template NAME)
and not via the MG5 command line
(i.e. ./bin/mg5 proc_card.dat or interactive interface)

So this is a perfect time to pass to official MG5 methods and drops the MG4 retro-compatible method
of generation.

Cheers,

Olivier

Ok the problem occur only when generating processes in MG4 like way.
