[gmx-developers] Segfault/Core dump on Solaris -> reproduced on linux ! Debug output

Hi,

just reproduced my problem on a linux box, requesting 8 instead of
2 nodes. It gets weirder and weirder.

I now know that the bonds() routine is responsible for the problem
as shows eg the adb output from below. This same routine segfaults
for 1 (and presumably 2, 12 and 16) processors under Solaris and
for 8 processors on linux. Strangely the 2 processors on linux job
is running fine.

Any clues to this puzzle ??

Here is the copy of adb output


============================
oswell-1% adb `which mdrun` core
core file = core -- program ``mdrun'' on platform SUNW,Sun-Fire
