​OK. Well I'm fairly confident that the change that I made will resolve
these problems. It really *should* have been calling MPI_Finalize, but
wasn't. Now that it is, there's no excuse for a working MPI implementation
to hang at the end of a MMPBSA.py job. (That doesn't mean it *won't*, it
just means that if it does, I will blame the MPI implementation instead of
MMPBSA.py.)

As this is more of an annoyance than a critical issue, I think we'll just
wait for AmberTools 16 to come out in a few months rather than trying to
push through an update to AmberTools 15. (By the way, the patch I sent
earlier was problematic -- it used MPI.Finalize() instead of
MPI.COMM_WORLD.Finalize()).

All the best,
Jason
