[gmx-users] 3.3.2 -b option not functioning as expected

[Berk Hess]

Hi,

This is a known bug caused by autoconf, which has been worked around in 3.3.3.
It turns out that a certain version of autoconf handles the definition
of fseeko incorrectly, which causes Gromacs to use the wrong file offset.
This only happens on certain system configurations.
Unfortunately this version of autoconf was used to make the 3.3.2 distribution.
