Indeed, when I tried running the MC barostat in the gpu-tachyon branch
before you merged it, I found that the energies exploded and the simulation
ended with the message that the nonbonded cells needed to be
recalculated. I'm wondering if the volume fluctuations in the MC barostat
are much larger than Scott expected volume fluctuations to be... Hopefully
this is an easy fix.

Correct, supporting both T-REMD and H-REMD.
