[gmx-users] Gromacs 4.6 segmentation fault with mdrun

[Szilárd Páll]

Dear Makoto Yoneya,

Thank you for the feedback, it is of great help!

I will try to reproduce the issue because mdrun should not segfault with
any gcc version 4.3 and above. Could you please provide two more things:
- a log file of the failed run using the latest code from git;
- run mdrun with the "-debug 1" option, 0 steps is enough and provide the
mdrun.debug output?

These would be very useful to know the exact software setup you are using
(detailed information in the new header of the mdrun's log files) and the
location of the crash (based on the debug output).

(Large?) Attachments might still be turned off for the list so please
upload the files somewhere and send us a link (pastebin or a similar
service is fine).

Thank you in advance,
