[gmx-users] rerun problem

the first problem was that the version of original results was 3.0.3 and in this
version the rerun didn't worked at all (giving shake error).

so I used the 3.1.4 version with which the rerun worked but giving bad results
in the calculation of LJ.

the only changes in the .mdp are :

1) constraints none in the rerun and h-bonds in the original 
   (this parameter was modified because otherwise the results of the rerun were
   worse)

2) the temperature coupling was isothermal in the original and berendsen in the 
   rerun  (because in the 3.1.4 release there is not the isothermal, but it 
   isn't a problem for me, since I don't need kinetic energy)

3) coulomb type PME for both.

about the results, I report you one frame of the original and rerun energy

            LJ(14)      Coulomb         LJ(SR)       Coulomb(SR)   
original  1270.223417  18564.769168  59726.646291  -479536.291776  

 Coulomb(LR)      Potential
-100714.158182  -488448.307707

rerun     1269.997266  18562.972545  72114.672713  -479429.595416  

-100698.935290  -475957.803363

As you can see the big problem is in the LJ(SR) rerun which is overestimated.
Do you think that the other quantities are in sufficient agreement or there is
some problem also in them?

thank you
