[gmx-users] Confusing gmx tMPI Error

[Mark Abraham]

Hi,

That sounds like a bug worth looking into. If you can open an issue at
https://redmine.gromacs.org/ and upload your inputs to grompp and mdrun and
the output (particularly the .log fie), then we can see if we can reproduce
the problem and find a fix.
