Nathan: I hope Tom Cheatham or Tom Darden will speak up here, but I suspect
that this is a force-field "problem". Do the ion pairs break up if you
soldier ahead and go to 300K, or do they remain? I don't have any explicit
relevant experience, but I seem to have heard of similar problems through
the grapevine. (If you haven't done so, ask Jay what he thinks...)
