[gmx-users] Error: Lost Particles while sorting

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

I was thinking of http://redmine.gromacs.org/issues/1153 but on general
principles that should not have showed up in 5.0. Nonetheless the early 5.0
versions had enough GPU-related issues that you still want to follow my
suggestion and see how you go.
