If all the potential-related terms in the two mdin files are the same,
the energy terms should be the same; look at each element, not the sum,
for further clues.

I read in the list that they are supposed to be equal:

I feel it has something to do with using the restraint since with switching off the nmropt option, it has not printed that warning so far. But why does it show the warning with nmropt=1? is it important?
