I generate 8-10 particles distributed uniformally(using rand) in space from (-5,-5) to (5,5). 

I print out the forces calculated by ChaNGa and the order in which they are calculated. 
I verify the force calculations by doing them manually(since the number of particle is small) and in the same order as ChaNGa. 

I used the default parameters. I ran on a single treepiece. 

Thanks for looking in to this.

Could you give us a few more details? In particular, it would be
helpful to have the data set you are using, as well as the parameters
passed to the code. Also, I'd like to know how you made the comparison
of forces. Did you use the output of an N^2 computation as a
yardstick?

Thanks,
Pritish

P.S.: I have included cosmology-ppl in the list of recipients. This is
