Hi,

The last mail supposedly bounced from the server due to attachments. So
please excuse in case you find this as a repetition.

I am trying to simulate a system where I want to exclude all nb interactions
between frozen groups. So I followed the manual and defined them in
energygrp_excl. But upon doing that it throws the following warning.

WARNING 1 [file topol.top, line 1583]:
  Can not exclude the lattice Coulomb energy between energy groups

What is the reason of the warning and should I be worried about it or safely
ignore it.

Next, I am facing a strange problem with mdrun_mpi. If I run it on 4 nodes
then it throws up the following error. Which I traced to md.log where I saw:

There are: 15923 Atoms
Charge group distribution at step 0: 0 3264 3185 0 (why these zeroes?)
Grid: 3 x 4 x 5 cells

However with 2 nodes it has and runs fine:

There are: 15923 Atoms
Charge group distribution at step 0: 3226 3223
Grid: 4 x 5 x 25 cells

The error-

Making 1D domain decomposition 1 x 1 x 4
starting mdrun 'TransverseElectrode'
100000 steps,    200.0 ps.
step 0

I would be extremely thankful, if somebody points me to the source of the
error and the workaround.
