Bug #1618
g_protonate segfaults unconditionally
Description
g_protonate segfaults on version 4.6.8 (shown below), but also on 5.0.2. I am unable to attempt it on 5.1 at the moment. Appears to be related to calling protonate(), located in src/kernel/genhydro.c
g_protonate -s ref_test.pdb -f test.xtc

You're too fast! :) Was testing this one before I hopped on the flight last night, but I don't have a patch yet. Just got to the reproduce + trace stage. I'll go hunt some other bugs.
#4 Updated by Berk Hess over 4 years ago
Could this be related to the hackblock fix that Erik fixed recently (forgot the id's)?
Unfortunately there is no stack trace here.
#5 Updated by Erik Lindahl over 4 years ago
Unfortunately not, I already tested those fixes here!
Will paste debug session below.

#8 Updated by Erik Lindahl over 4 years ago
While we might be able to fix gmx protonate, this tools appears to have been pretty much unused since the crashes go all the way back to 4.6. Since nobody has complained, I think it's better that we remove it and focus on a few high-quality tools. It was anyway mostly intended for united atom force fields when written a long time ago, and those are mostly deprecated today.

Removed gmx protonate tool
This tool appears to have been largely unused, since
testing shows it crashes for a normal trajectory all
the way back to 4.6. Since it is only relevant for
united-atom force fields, we'll reduce the maintenance
load by simply removing it for now - it might reappear
in the future.
