Dear GROMACS users and developers.

I don known if this issued had been previously addressed, but I found
that when I try to run a MD with time-step of 2fs and 2500000000 steps
(yes 500us!!!) the dynamics aborts with the next message (64bit-LINUX
and icc 10 compiler):

####################

If i reduce the steps number by one order of magnitude then all goes
ok.  My MDP when I obtined this error was:

I known this kind of error is not a priority since the total
integration time is ridiculous big, but anyway I want to comment it to
you.

Yes, it's known. IIRC there was some discussion on the developers list about changing the relevant data type so that it can store bigger numbers. It's also a non-problem inasmuch as if you are ever able to run a simulation that long, manually resetting the number of steps to zero at a suitable point will be workable.
