Yes, sorry!

By imposed I mean that the flags are explicitly changed to do angular  
removal of
COM (remove the rotational momentum) even if it is not the case in the  
mdp file.
The code itself of not modified to do implement it!

You'd find in the lines like this:

if ( mean_field ) {
      ir->comm_mode = ecmANGULAR;
      ir->nstcomm = 1;
}

The question really what the code is then doing is asked to remove the  
rotational momentum
while not implemented! The code is stable for micro seconds!

It is so as the mean field stuff was imported from earlier gmx  
versions where the particule/domain
decomposition were not implemented I guess.
