AMBER: GIBBS + vlimit exceeded

 Hello amber:

 Im trying to run a FEP calculation, and after 130ps of simulation, I get lots
of warnings (WARNING: vlimit exceeded for step 273242; vmax = 23.94).
Previously to the fep I ran a 1000ps long simulation at the same conditions
(tip3 water, 298K, constant pressure) for equilibrating the system and I had
no one of such wanings. I'm suspicious about the dummy atoms...
 I have several dummy atoms and I'm not sure which of the parameters for the
dummies should be 0. In the tutorial (val-to-ala) it seems they use arbitrary
non-zero parameters for everything except the NONB. Coud anybody tell me how
I can have more information about parameters for dummy atoms in FEP's?

 Thank you,

Miguel.
