juste the REMD tests crash with the same error message:

     mdfil: Error unknown flag: -rem

     usage: sander [-O] -i mdin -o mdout -p prmtop -c inpcrd -r restrt
                   [-ref refc -x mdcrd -v mdvel -e mden -idip inpdip
-rdip rstdip -mdip mddip -inf mdinfo -radii radii]
Consult the manual for additional options.

I run these tests on a Altix 3700 server administrated by a Linux (64
bit) system and the intel ifort compiler was used.
