Well, technically it allows you to run in parallel via PD with no PBC. 
Parallelization is not mandatory and usually small vacuum systems do not benefit 
from running in parallel (usually performance degrades when you have few atoms).

pbc = xyz is not an in vacuo simulation.

Yes, version 5.0, using exactly the settings I posted.
