Yes, it executes. With nstlim=1 it ends correctly. With sander.MPI the

> 3. ATOMIC COORDINATES AND VELOCITIES

part is exactly the same (same warnings) as with pmemd. Therefore, I
started a long procedure with pmemd. No problem for me with new/old,
with pmemd it is as if there were more processors. The only problem is
bothering experts when it does not execute or messages are cryptic.

Thanks
