This pull request is fully signed and it will be integrated in one of the next CMSSW_8_1_X IBs (tests are also fine). This pull request requires discussion in the ORP meeting before it's merged. @slava77, @davidlange6, @Degano, @smuzaffar

wondering how this did not get noticed in the validation done before requesting a back port (and a special release, which is wasted..)

[covarell]

@bsunanda should answer this, but I believe a particle not recognized by PDT must be a very rare event (usually these errors are triggered by some weird light mesons)

[bsunanda]

I concentrated on Pythia6 at that time which had no such errors. For Pythia8 it is very rare but it happens when one goes above a few 1000 events. We understand that Pythia8 will now be used and in that process we discovered the shortcoming. Sorry for overlooking this.
