Thank you, this fixes the problem!

There is another issue I noticed while playing around with the test case.
It's probably not very relevant for "real life" simulations, but still:

If I set the restart frequency below 100 steps (lets say to 1) I get the
following errors

(restartfreq 1)
WRITING VELOCITIES TO RESTART FILE AT STEP 443
ERROR: Error on renaming file out/run/ampCRASH.restart.coor to
out/run/ampCRASH.restart.coor.old: File exists
FATAL ERROR: Unable to open binary file out/run/ampCRASH.restart.coor: File
exists

OR

(restartfreq 10)
WRITING VELOCITIES TO RESTART FILE AT STEP 18430
ERROR: Error on renaming file out/run/ampCRASH.restart.vel to
out/run/ampCRASH.restart.vel.old: File exists
FATAL ERROR: Unable to open binary file out/run/ampCRASH.restart.vel: File
exists

The step at which this happens is random, but it crashes sooner, if
restartfreq is smaller.
I tested this with 2.7 and with the 2.8b3 you have sent me. Both crash in
the same way.

Thank you & best regards,
Ajasja
