ok, I see. Well, since there is no bug and TGenPhaseSpace::Generate is quite fast I can afford to do a quick search for the maximum weight myself.

Doing that, producing 'unweighted' events became almost as fast as producing 'weighted' events and gives identical results as before. I'll stick with that.

Oh yes, we don't run the generator in interpreted mode from CINT. That was just an example.

Thank you,
