Dear Ray,

As the Brits like to say, "Brilliant"! Everything is working fine now.
Thanks very much,

Dave,

I find the single water molecule is before your chloroform molecules in
the prmtop file. This arrangement can trick the pb code to think there
is nothing after the water when it builds the nonbonded list ... so you
see chloroform molecules penetrating the solute. Please always put water

molecules at the very end, and try again.

All the best,
Ray
