Amber has limitations in simulating small unit cells. Basically, the
cutoff + "skin" has to be less than half of the unit cell size.

So, you need to use a smaller cutoff + skin (probably by reducing skinnb
from its default value of 2 to a value of 1), or create a bigger unit cell.

Your problem has really nothing to do with the ewald coefficeint....
