You are heating a solvated, constant pressure simulation to 500 K. At 1
atm pressure, the volume of the system will increase enormously (water boils
at 373 K). Amber was designed for condensed=phase simulations, and will not
be able to keep enough "cells" in the list when you enormously change the
volume of the system during a run.
