There is discussion in #49763 (comment) about the problem would be related to inconsistency in geometry between an input file and the present code. In the tests of that PR the failure occurred in X.999 workflow that read old MinBias files in order to premix them. I don't know if all the failing workflows read old input files though.

[mmusich]

it was mentioned today at the ORP that we'll have to wait 16_1_0_pre1 relvals to get this fixed.
Can we at least remove 34634.999 from the PR test matrix so that we don't have each and every PR fail tests?

[makortel]

Seems like the affected workflows are

• 34551.85
• 34634.114
• 34634.21
• 34634.703
• 34634.99
• 34634.9921
• 34634.999

By quick look of the logs of the failing jobs, all of them were reading files produced in 16_0_0_pre2.
