Running the general serial test for amber8, all PASSED except
newton_raph (forrtl: severe (174) segmentation fault). That likely
because no bugfix was applied (and it can't) to amber8 before patching
with ramd. I was unable to trace what newton_raph is expected to do,
so that may I ask whether this is a problem for running ramd? To this
concern:
./Run.ramd
diffing mdout.ramd.save with mdout
PASSED
Can I safely pass to parallel compilation?
Thanks
