[gmx-users] segmentation fault

[Steffen Haerterich]

Hallo!
After some minor experiments with your mdp-file I have to say that it 
didn't work with one of my gro/top files either. So I started adjusting 
parameters. The point that stopped the error on my machine was 
changing gen_vel from "no" to "yes".
Adjusting the temperature for which the velocities are generated to 0.1 
made the error occur a little bit later (step 200 instead of step 30).
It didn't occur at all within the 50ps with the original 298K.
I don't know exactly how this influences the simulation setup in a way 
that could cause an error but I am not an expert and I never worked 
with PME before. So  you might considder someone else's 
experiences.
I hope this is of some help!
