Hi Mark,

with FE, without PR : same error
without FE, with PR: stable
without FE, without PR: stable

I've never had this error before.

Logfile says:
[...]
Initializing Domain Decomposition on 2 nodes
Dynamic load balancing: no
Will sort the charge groups at every domain (re)decomposition
Initial maximum inter charge-group distances:
     two-body bonded interactions: 3.341 nm, LJC Pairs NB, atoms 22476 22761
   multi-body bonded interactions: 0.649 nm, Angle, atoms 1668 1686
Minimum cell size due to bonded interactions: 3.675 nm
Using 0 separate PME nodes
Optimizing the DD grid for 2 cells with a minimum initial size of 3.675 nm
The maximum allowed number of cells is: X 1 Y 1 Z 2
Domain decomposition grid 1 x 1 x 2, separate PME nodes 0
PME domain decomposition: 2 x 1 x 1
Domain decomposition nodeid 0, coordinates 0 0 0
[...]
Linking all bonded interactions to atoms
There are 55376 inter charge-group exclusions,
will use an extra communication step for exclusion forces for PME

The initial number of communication pulses is: Z 1
The initial domain decomposition cell size is: Z 5.09 nm

The maximum allowed distance for charge groups involved in interactions is:
                  non-bonded interactions           1.200 nm
             two-body bonded interactions  (-rdd)   4.213 nm
           multi-body bonded interactions  (-rdd)   4.213 nm





There it stops. In the 1-thread case, the second part is replaced by 
"Initiating Steepest Descents" and then writing out the energies for 
every step.

Gromacs version is 4.5.5.

I also attached the whole logfile.

Cheers
Sabine
