Hi Ross,
That patch did the trick! pmemd seems to work perfectly now -- it
passed all of test.pmemd and ran my short test jobs fine. Thanks so
much! (In the very near future I'll see how many of the old flags I
can toss out and post updated config files to my website for those who
are interested.)
Best,
Paul
