[gmx-users] Energy/temperature drifts in Gromacs 4.0 / inconsistencies with Gromacs 3.3.1

Sorry for the long mail. For T-coupling I used Berendsen al gorithm.

Yes, I attach the diff file (emended of references and other comments), as
well as the run parameters reported in the NEW md log file.
For system 1 I tried both the same tpr file (from 3.3.1) in 3.3.1 and
4.0.4 simulations, and a new 4.0.4 format tpr file with grompp for 4.0.4
md run, but all simulations stopped in about 2,000 steps.
System 2, for which I attached the different parts of the log files, was
simulated using the same tpr file (from 3.3.1) for both 3.3.1 and 4.0.4 MD
runs.

For system 1, changing precision, compiler or serial-vs-parallel run only
affect the exact step at which the simulation stops. Also for system 2
these parameters do not affect the overall oscillating behaviour of the
simulation.

Best,
Pietro
