Re: restarting Gaussian accelerated MD fails

Thanks Yinglong, Andrew for the explanation ...

The restart problem is still there. The restart file is not read
properly (namd log says at first time step that dV = 0, iE = 0, k0 = 0)
and the simulation crashes soon after that although NAMD does recognize
the restart file as input ("accelMDG USING RESTART FILE
oct4_hoxb1_mur_01_box_gamd010102.gamd" ) ... The restart file also seems
correct.

Curiously that it appears that nobody else has encountered this issue ....

I guess I will wait for David's feed back ... He has all files needed to
reproduce the issue ..
I provide below again the relevant input lines and the restart file ... 
Maybe somebody sees something obvious that I am missing ....
