I've just run a test to confirm this behavior.
So to recap, the temperature that is assigned to a replica depends on
the value of irest.
irest=1: Replica Temperatures will be read from the restart files.
irest=0: Replica Temperatures will be read from mdin (as temp0).
This is a departure from the previous behavior of REMD, where you had
to read the temperatures from the restarts no matter what. I noted
this in the 'Changes to REMD in Amber10' section of the manual, but
maybe the code should print out more information in the output file,
explicitly stating where the replica temperatures are being read from.
What does everyone else think?
