Hmm... Segfault are always really bad, but I just don't have time to
debug it right now.
What I usually do when I run in parallel is to create a topology where
the molecules section at the end is the same order as the shuffled
system, e.g.
DPPC 10
SOL 230
DPPC 10
SOL 230
etc...
This way you can use this topology instead and never care about undoing
the shuffling. If you don't remember the molecule distribution you can
just rerun grompp
with the shuffle option and look at the way it distributes molecules
over CPUs.
Cheers,
Erik
