It is very hard to follow what you are posting (maybe your mail program is
mangling the output), but it looks like you have no bonds present in residue
1. This would explain why the atoms fly apart. If you edit your residue
in xleap, you should see the bonds (if they are there). The "desc" command
in LEaP can also give you information about bonds. You need to try to figure
out what you did to end up with a residue with no bonds. Try making an
ordinary (nonpert) prmtop file corresponding to the lambda=0 state, and see
if you can get that to work.

You seem to have pertbonds but no regular bonds.

...good luck...dac
