Investigate numerical test failures on Hamilton 8 #143

Description

@danielhollas

We tried to compile ABIN on the new Hamilton 8 cluster in Durham on node cn7g03, and we're seeing numerical differences in restart.xyz files for the following tests: PIMD, ABINITIO, SPLINE, MORSE, HARMON All these tests are running PIMD with NHC thermostat. We tried GCC-8 and GCC-11.2.

We have verified that the tests pass on Hamitlon7 head node and also on hamilton7:cn7g02, with gcc-8.2. Given that we have the same compiler version and same CPUs, I don't know what the heck is happening.

Here's the kernel version and ldd output on hatmilton8:g03
