[gmx-users] angles125 test fails on Altix4700 with gcc or intel

Hi,

I recently installed gromacs in single precision on an Altix4700 using
either intel 10.1.0008 or gcc 4.2.3 and in both cases the installation
passes all of the gmxtests except for angles125.  The differences in the
energy appear to be rather significant (see below).  Can anyone offer an
explanation?  Can this installation be used safely?  For the gcc
version, setting the noassemblyloop variable reduces the discrepancy
significantly, but the test still fails.  The intel installation,
however, is not compiled with the assembly loops because it fails with:

error A2040: Unexpected token: Unary Diez Operator at: Start.

But it still gets the large discrepancy shown below.

If anyone has a fix for the issue compiling assembly loops with Intel
that would also be nice.  It was discussed on the list awhile ago, but
it did not appear that there was a clear resolution:

Thanks,
