Hi David,
Assuming a fully up to date AMBER 11 could you try the attached patch
please.
Do a make clean and then save the file in $AMBERHOME/src/pmemd/src
cd $AMBERHOME/src/pmemd/src
patch -p0 <2012_04_10_restrt_patch.dat
Then do a recompile of pmemd, pmemd.MPI and pmemd.cuda and let me know if
the problem goes away.
All the best
Ross
