This issue will normally only arise if your run finished abnormally. I seem to 
recall discussion of it somewhere. Perhaps you need to restart in a different 
manner (hint: telling us your command lines would have been useful), e.g. using 
the checkpoint files properly. Alternatively, since the differences cannot span 
a replica exchange, you could try running the lagging simulations in serial 
until they're all in sync.
