It's weird anyway. We appreciate people doing this kind of tests, since
we can't do everything...

The fact that your md.log file ends in the middle of printing is not
indicative of anything (check the filesize, it is probably a multiple of
4096, i.e. file buffering in action).

You may want to rerun in the following way:
setenv LOG_BUFS 0
mdrun -debug

Please report back what happens.
