Particle Injector Crash

[danielseipt]

Description

Smilei crashes when trying to inject a particle beam with temperature (T=1.0) from a side wall (ymin) in a 3D simulation. The particle injector uses tgaussian as temporal profile. The code crashes at the timestep when the first partilcles should be injected. The crashes do not occur if the temperature is set to a very small value, e.g. 1e-30.

A minimal namelist showing the faulty behavior is attached.
