I think it may be from using ntx=7. with ntb=0
you should use ntx=5.
it is also possible that the restart is corrupted or truncated.
use a text editor to look at it. The format is given on the
amber web page (look for amber file formats).
my other comments-
I have not had good luck with cut=12 and GB simulations.
I also recommend against igb=1 (especially for anything but a
short peptide) unless you have good reason to use this.
igb=5 is better (and be careful of which intrinsic radii
you choose, the "best" set depends on the igb value.
See work by Onufriev et al on these GB models.
