[gmx-developers] Thread affinity in log

[Szilárd Páll]

Confirmed, we've ran into it last Friday and 5820 seemed to fix the issue,
but as the author of the change noted, it's is unclear what the source of
the crash is.

BTW: we need to add a "-pin on" test to the verification matrix  to make
sure the thread pinning code gets tested. It can be post-submit too, but we
have none of those on the horizon so better add an otpion to the current
ones IMO.
