[gmx-users] strange lincs warning with version 4.6

2fs is normally considered too large a time step for stable integration
with only bonds to hydrogen constrained, so your observation of
non-reproducible LINCS warnings is not indicative of some other problem.

Also, if you ran your CPU-only calculations with nstlist=25 then AFAIK this
works fine, but is inefficient.
