The traceback above indicates that the code got as far as "mexit()", which
means it was trying to quit, and failed. It looks like mexit() itself
was called from compute_nfft(), and that sander was unable to compute a good
fft size for your calculation.

You should post your input (mdin) file, which might have some clues, and
at least some information about what sort of calculation you are trying to
run. The specific problem above (a failure in mexit) seems related to MPI.
One suggestion is to do a "make clean" in the src directory, and to compile
a non-parallel version of sander. That should allow mexit() to succeed
in stopping the program, but will not solve the underlying problem in
compute_nfft(). Once everything is working in the non-parallel environment,
you can try again with a parallel run.

....hope this helps...dac
