[gmx-users] charmm36 ions fix

[gromacs query]

Thanks Justin, basically am stuck with an old question of using high salt
conc. with membrane simulations and their dependence on force field
parameters versus experiments. Membrane thickness and area seems to be
sensitive to high salt at least in simulations.
