AMBER: large std error in entropy estimation

Dear amber users£¬

I am trying to calculate the binding free energy of a drug molecule to a certain peptide. I used the mm_pbsa module in amber8. But the vibrational contribution to entropy(times T) often has very large std error, like -3..00+/-13.00Kcal/mol. Even though I pick out 20 snapshots from last 5 picoseconds when the system already in equilibrium.
What is your idea about this large std error? Or is there any way to improve it?

¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
