What you see is correct and expected. There was some effort to use
OpenMP and MPI together on the Xeon Phi architecture, but it died when
the enthusiams for Xeon Phi did.

We should have some warning message about this. It's legal to use both
OpenMP and MPI together, but cpptraj (the analysis program) is the only
code that makes use of this, as far as I know. pmemd.MPI is not set up
for OpenMP.

Sorry for the confusion....regards....dave
