Subject: Re: AMBER: What does this error message mean?

Could it be that those mdcrd files that give the error message have the
last snapshot incomplete? I am just guessing - but if you 'killed' the
MD run, it may happen that Amber has not finished writing the output
into the mdcrd file and thus some of the coordinates are missing at the
end.
Hope it helps :-)
