Discriminator sometimes passes zero points in standard analysis

[evzayas]

This is a problem that I've seen for a very long time, but it's never a consistent behavior which is very confusing. Sometimes when I run locally a config file which is definitely tested and working well, the discriminator passes zero points and no track finding takes place. On several occasions I have run the exact same command, immediately afterward, and get normal results. Thus the problem is not reproducible as far as I can understand.

I don't know how to approach a solution, I don't know whether this is a problem which depends on the system, but I want to document it anyway. I can only guess that the root of the problem is a bad construction of the gain variation. I wonder if the gain variation has been known to sometimes give inconsistent results.

I suppose the upside is that all this really does is effectively discard some files when an analysis is run on a large set of data. In the grand scheme of bugs, that's not so bad.
