Subject: RE: AMBER: restart file

I suspect that your system is diffusing too far such that the coordinates no
longer fit in the space allocated in the restrt file. Check the restrt file,
you will probably see lines with ***'s in them. If you are not interested in
measuring diffusion coefficients then you can set IWRAP=1 in your input
file. This will wrap all coordinates back to the central box rather than
tracking the original molecule. This way you shouldn't come accross this
problem.

All the best
Ross
