Segfaults running H7 tutorial

[new]

Hi,

I went through the H7 tutorial, running LHC-Matchbox.in analysis on complete bootstrap installation. In any configuration (LO, NLO, MCatNLO-DefaultShower?, NO-Shower) I get a segfault during event generation.

The backtrace points to problem with Pythia8.

Specifically:

1) read Matchbox/MCatLO-DefaultShower?.in

FYI: Sticking to H7 hadronization by removing Py8 and EvtGen? from the H7 ./configure command and recompiling helped as a workaround.
