Difference in output

please *always* copy the mailing list, do not reply to individual
people only. thanks.

Nothing else....same restart file, same steps.

really?! same LAMMPS version? same hardware? same number of CPUs?
*exact* same input?

computers are much more consistent than humans, you have to provide
proof and some reproducible way of showing that LAMMPS does not
restart properly. it does for me.

Well I ran the exact same files on the same exact machine using the same exact executable.

you have not yet convinced me. people often say and think they do the
same thing, but then there is some subtle difference. i myself just
ran into that trap again today (see my post on fix deposit), so having
a lot of experience doesn't prevent this. you need to provide real
proof that you are really doing the exact same thing.

then please post a minimal stripped down input deck that shows the
inconsistent behavior. i.e. one input using a data file that generates
the restart and then an input using that restart and the matching
outputs from running the second run multiple times with different
outputs.
