Actually, it will work for sander, pmemd, pmemd.cuda, sander.MPI*, and
_maybe_ pmemd.cuda.MPI (testing or Scott's comment needed to confirm). It
will not work for pmemd.MPI.

-It- in this case being reproducible initial velocities for irest=0 and
ig=-1 if the assigned seed is known. Once you use a stochastic thermostat,
you lose sander.MPI's reproducibility as well (hence the *).

In any case, it's safer to simply assume that ig=-1 implies no
reproducibility.

All the best,
Jason
