It is the combination MPICH/gromacs that causes problems. Of course we'd 
like to blame MPICH since GROMACS works with LAM and other libraries, 
but on the other hand MPICH works with most software as well.

Usually LAM is slightly more efficient than MPICH, so that may be an 
extra incentive to try out LAM.
