[gmx-developers] mdrun with pulling - "Bad file descriptor"

[Roland Schulz]

Hi,

I already fixed this bug 2 weeks ago but forgot to push it on the git
server. Sorry! Ironically I noticed 5min before you wrote this email ;-).
Please check whether it fixes it for you. I fixed it by not computing the
md5 sum for xvg. I think it is sufficient to check the md5 for the standard
files. In case you would like the md5sum also for xvg files, I'm happy to
change it.

Roland
