The last problem also appears when built with intel. And i forgot to say
that this is an mpi version (openmpi if that matters).
That cg_cm[cg][d] being NaN later results in cell_index[cg] having the
value -2147483635 which is way outside its limits.

Building mdrun in double precision make this problem vanish (as far as i
have been able to test)
