Kristina -
It is very possible that something (like an enmr) got whacked in the pmemd
code work without getting noticed. The nmropt == 1 stuff is not extensively
tested; we mostly use the temperature stepping capabilities in our group.
Non-nmr constraints were tested and do work (hb benchmark), producing the
same results for sander 6, 7, pmemd, and pmemd 7-compatibility mode. If you
will send me your input (gzipped, please) I will be glad to track down and
fix the bug. I'll do this for any nmropt == 1 stuff folks turn up; I have
tried to not touch the nmropt == 1 code because of the testing impact, but
it is always possible that something obscure got missed.
Regards - Bob
