[FLASH-USERS] restart PM run in UG mode

Erm... Your mesh contains enough information and so that should never 
happen. It seems like a bug to me, possibly a broken code logic.

Try setting

convertToConsvdInMeshInterp     = .false.

If that does not help (perhaps to overcome broken logic), one would need 
to debug the code.
