One more point:
when I run the job interactively, although it works but date and time
are wrong!

step 0
step 100, will finish Wed Sep 16 16:16:00 2009
step 200, will finish Wed Sep 16 14:32:34 2009
step 300, will finish Wed Sep 16 13:57:51 2009
step 400, will finish Wed Sep 16 11:35:46 2009
step 500, will finish Wed Sep 16 11:50:12 2009
step 600, will finish Wed Sep 16 10:36:38 2009
step 700, will finish Wed Sep 16 09:44:04 2009
step 800, will finish Wed Sep 16 10:07:02 2009
step 900, will finish Wed Sep 16 09:29:25 2009
step 1000, will finish Wed Sep 16 08:59:19 2009
step 1100, will finish Wed Sep 16 09:20:06 2009
step 1200, will finish Wed Sep 16 08:55:47 2009
step 1300, will finish Wed Sep 16 09:13:38 2009
step 1400, will finish Wed Sep 16 08:53:15 2009

Is it a cluster related or GROMACS related issue? Is it important at
all?
