The program doesn't exit. The minout file is one byte in length and the
minimization program just continues to run. Right now I can't see the
process load because we're running it in a shared cluster without
individual node access.

We use "./configure g95" for Xeons running Linux version
2.6.16-1.2122_FC5smp (bhcompile_at_hs20-bc1-3.build.redhat.com) (gcc
version 4.1.0 20060304 (Red Hat 4.1.0-3)) #1 SMP Sun May 21 15:18:32 EDT

After running many additional tests, I've found that the problem is not
specific to igb=5. It seems to occur regardless of the igb setting,
although it does not reproducibly occur every time sander is run. I've
also tried varying the PB radii set, and this doesn't seem to have an
effect either. This seems very unusual behavior to me; I'm wondering if
this could be some problem during compilation. Or could it be specific
to the pdb file which is used as an initial configuration, as I've only
seen this error when we use a pdb template in tleap? The pdb file we're
using seems quite reasonable.

Thanks,
Scott
