[gmx-users] problem to restart REMD

Actually when I check for several times I checked the steps for all
state.cpt files and they are the same.
I try to restart it, it is run only for few steps ( It took only 3 minutes
) and then it stopped with this lines in the error file :

Abort(1) on node 12 (rank 12 in comm 1140850688): Fatal error in
MPI_Allreduce: Other MPI error, error stack:
MPI_Allreduce(912).......: MPI_Allreduce(sbuf=MPI_IN_PLACE,
rbuf=0x7fff8606aa00, count=4, MPI_DOUBLE, MPI_SUM, comm=0x84000001) failed
MPIR_Allreduce_impl(769).:
MPIR_Allreduce_intra(270):
MPIR_Bcast_impl(1462)....:
MPIR_Bcast(1486).........:
MPIR_Bcast_intra(1295)...:
MPIR_Bcast_binomial(252).: message sizes do not match across processes in
the collective routine: Received 64 but expected 32
ERROR: 0031-300  Forcing all remote tasks to exit due to exit code 1 in
task 12

That I guess the problem is related to MPI, and I don't get why, because my
other simulation is running well.

Thanks for your suggestion.
