[FLASH-USERS] Orbit Test Problem crash during runtime

[Anshu Dubey]

Ryan,
This is not a workaround, it is the right thing to do. The way particles
migrate between blocks and processors is simpler with time advance than
with regridding. With time advance they only move to the nearest neighbor,
whereas during regridding blocks themselves change identity so the
association between particles and blocks has to be redone, and so the
migration uses a different method.
