No, nothing has changed.
But there were some bugs in the domain decomposition which could
lead to problems. I fixed these on January 29th. Somebody else
also reported incorrect interaction prints. I suspect that these
came from memory corruption, but I am not completely sure.
If you were not running the latest CVS, please try.
If you were, could you send me a tpr file that causes problems?

But setting nrexcl to 3 (or 4) does NOT remove LJ-14.
LJ-14 are listed separately in the topology in the [ pairs ] section.
