Mmmh, are you sure about that?
I looks wrong to me when I have two output files, one ending with:

Shouldn't the second file from the restarted run start with either the exact
same Values for Step 101000 as for the first file or start with Steps +
"outputEnergies/outputPressure/dcdfreq"
It looks odd to me when you have the same timestep and two different sets of
values assigned to it... (as you can see above)
Any ideas? Anyone?
Thanks and kind regards
