[Nek5000-users] restart a case got an error: Error reading initial condition/drive force data

[nek5000-users at lists.mcs.anl.gov]

not sure it helps, but we had a similar problem recently when a rea file 
went trough Windows and Linux, adding CR and LF as line breaks. As far 
as I remember, using dos2unix of the file helped. Also, a tab character 
(ASCII 9) somewhere on that line gave some problems.

Good luck,  Philipp
