[gmx-developers] Debugging MPI problems?

[Marc Baaden]

Hi,

thanks to Axel and David for their debugging tips.
It was actually a problem related to the printf
statement as indicated by David.

The weird thing is that this should have gone wrong
on AIX, too. But well, the bug is solved at least.

Thanks!
  Marc
