[CP2K:8605] error when restarting an AIMD simulation with periodic efield

Hi Laurent,

this must be a bug.

Untested, but can you try setting

RESTART_RTP

to .FALSE. in the EXT_RESTART section. 

Or indeed try with RESTART_DEFAULT to .FALSE. and add things in as needed 
only.

Somehow, and I can't see how straight off, I'd think that this must trigger 
a bit of real time propagation code and cause the problem.

Matt
