Re: BUG? reinitatoms on wrapped coordinates occasionally fail with rigidbonds

I assume the coordinates were wrapped per-atom by some tool.

NAMD is probably expecting hydrogen coordinates to be in the same image as
their bonded heavy atom. The bonded energy code wraps coordinates but the
rigid bond code may be making some assumption.
