This sounds like a possible bug, probably related to the compiler used.

Can you:

1) See if all the amber8 test cases in $AMEBRHOME/test work correctly.

2) Let me know the specs of your machine: cpu, OS, compiler versions etc.
Also if you can post your config.h file from you $AMBERHOME/src dir that
would be useful.

3) Let me know the exact sequence of commands you are using. From initially
firing up leap to solvating it and finding out it has solvated incorrectly.

Hopefully with this information we can nail down your problem.

All the best
Ross
