Hi,

I am currently trying to set up a simulation for a periodic hopper.
I have encountered something strange when saving and loading the simulation to file.
After loading the system some of the particles start passing through the facets of the hopper and the box below it.

Some notes:
 - I've tried two types of material, FrictMat and ViscElMat, both exhibit this behaviour.
- Time step size doesn't seem to affect this.
- This only occurs when the system is periodic.
- I'm using Yade trunk from 22 Jan [b32e7e5bd8b410a00f7fd2891bdd0cb75fe121fb]

Example code follows:

###############################################################################
from yade import pack,export,qt
		
sphRad=0.01; 
gravity = 10
w=20.*2.*sphRad; b=8.*2.*sphRad; h=20.*2.*sphRad; g=sphRad*2.*6.;
x0=0.; y0=w; z0=h; 

		
hopperheight = h		
hopperTopPts = [Vector3(x0,y0-w/2.,z0),
				Vector3(x0+b,y0-w/2.,z0),
				Vector3(x0+b,y0+w+w/2.,z0),
				Vector3(x0,y0+w+w/2.,z0),
				Vector3(x0,y0-w/2.,z0)]
hopperBottomPts = [Vector3(x0,y0+w/2.-g,4*z0/10.),
				   Vector3(x0+b,y0+w/2.-g,4*z0/10.),
				   Vector3(x0+b,y0+w-(w/2.-g),4*z0/10.),
				   Vector3(x0,y0+w-(w/2.-g),4*z0/10.),

lowBox = box( center=(b/2.,3*w/2.,0.01), extents=(b,3*w,0.01) ,fixed=True,wire=True)
O.bodies.append(lowBox)
