Hi,

Intresting. There WAS a memory issue in g_hbond that involved writing 
out of array bounds that cause SEGVs and outright erroneous results. The 
fix did go into the development branch before the release of 4.0 and 
also into the 3.3-patches as far as I know. Which version generated 
irreproducible results at the tutorial?
