Yes. Usual cause is running hps-java on an LCIO file that was created (in 
slic) using a different detector geometry - SLIC places hits where it 
thinks the detector volumes are, and then hps-java gets confused because 
the hits are outside where it thinks the detector volumes are.

Can you send me the LCDD file you used? I guess the jar you used is the 
one at 
http://www.lcsim.org/maven/releases/org/hps/hps-distribution/3.0.0/hps-distribution-3.0.0-bin.jar?
