[gmx-users] Error In Umbrella sampling.

[Thomas Piggot]

I too also fairly frequently use the -maxwarn option for this message. 
Perhaps it would be better off as a grompp note rather than a warning, 
or am I missing something here? This way, there isn't an encouragement 
for people to use the -maxwarn option for other situations when it is 
less appropriate.

Cheers

Tom
