Dear all,

I'm running Amber 8 on i686 linux, protein solvated in water, with
truncated octahedral box. A set of atoms are restrained

When doing MD with constant pressure Berendsen I get negative
T_solv in the energy output (T_solute is OK)
Is there a reason to worry??????????

grep 'L1' mden3
L1 Temp T_solute T_solv Pres_scal_solu
L1 0.3040831341E+03 0.3040831341E+03 -.6227231148E+11 0.1000000000E+01
