[CP2K:6669] using PLUMED virtual atoms with MPI [PLUMED-2.1.2 + CP2K]

[Iain Bethune]

Hi Jaap,

Thanks for the report!  I have been able to recreate the problem (at least for me it doesn’t crash but the energy goes NaN by the start of the 3rd MD step…

I will try to figure out what is going wrong and let you know when/if I can fix it!

- Iain
