Hi Dimitris,

I think that if your modified optfile degrade the results of 
the 2+2 test, it's better to go back and leave the new option
commented: the reason is that it's quiet nice to be able
to restart exactly, and if it's no longer the case, it could
disturb other users. I personally don't run the 2+2 test very 
often (apart from the standard verification tests), and it might 
take them some time to realize that they lost this capability.

Cheers,
Jean-Michel
