Bug Description
Hello,
I'm not sure if this is a MG or other (Pythia8/HepMC) bug, but with MG v2.7.2 I observe that Pythia8 seems to produce a 'corrupt' HepMC file on lxplus that cannot be read by other HepMC interpreters (e.g. Rivet). The problem seems to be the duplication of the header START_EVENT_
HepMC::Version 2.06.09
HepMC::
HepMC::
E 0 -1 -1.000000000000
This seems to be environment/
I can't reproduce this exactly right now because of the pythia8 installation error reported in https:/
Using the same setup/installation and commands with MG v2.6.7 I do not see the duplicated line in the HepMC file. Let me know in case any further information is helpful.
Thanks,
Michaela

Hi,
My guess is that it should be related to this part of the code: /bazaar. launchpad. net/~mg5core1/ mg5amcnlo/ 2.7.3/revision/ 285.1.2
https:/
so it will be interesting to know if you support negative number for the "-n" option of the head command.
Cheers,
Olivier
