[gmx-developers] Seg fault in mdrun with AltiVec and LZM/PME

[Charlie Peck]

We're trying to run the LZM molecule (with the PME configuration)
from the gmxbench 3.0 package with GROMACS 3.1.5_pre1 under
OSX 10.3.2.  When mdrun is compiled with AltiVec support it
seg faults (see below).  With AltiVec support disabled it works
fine (albeit slowly).  We have also tried it under Linux/PPC with
similar results.

Core was generated by `/usr/local/gromacs/powerpc-apple-darwin7.2.0/bin/mdrun'.

Any suggestions?
