[gmx-users] mdrun_mpi crashes for no apparent reason

[Mehmet Suezen]

Hi Vishal,
May be analyizing debug files md.out would give you an idea. If you are
using 
4 cpu then networking also will play a role or due to NFS. *I had such a
behavior with
MPICH. I would suggest you to update LAM-MPI lam-6.5.6.

Good luck,

Mehmet
