OK
So for me, you have an error in your input; I mean in the input involving your
different mol. orientation and/or conformation.
Check carefully, the number of sections in your input, the "nmol" value in your
input, and the number of MEPs in the espot file: They should be the same
otherwise RESP get lost and crash... I had this problem ;-)

To get reproducible charge values, the idea is to pick up several mol
orientations to average the charge diff. observed for one orient. over several
orient. Charge values are reproducible _because_ you know/control the mol.
orientation in the MEP computations using the rigid body reorienation algo.
implemented in RED and _because_ you report in your work _with_ the charge
values the mol. orientation used; That's it. Taking too many orien. will not
help...
