This note is harmless if the .tpr file is only being used to add ions. 
Trying to use PME (e.g. by copying an .mdp file that is used for EM or 
MD) will trigger a fatal error due to the non-zero charge of the system. 
So .mdp files specifying plain cutoffs are necessary for adding ions, 
but should not be used for anything else.
