AMBER: 'lastrst' error for amber8

Dear amber users,
I am running molecular dynamics simulations on a system of 25544 atoms. I
had already finished 5 ns simulation without any problem. After analysing
those results, when i tried to continue the simulation on the same cluster
(SGI_ALTIX, 8 processors), i am getting the following error in my .out
file (please see below) which says 'exceeding lastrst in get_stack'. So
after searching the archives, i set the lastrst value to a very large
number (1000000000000) in my .in file and tried to run the simulation, but
with the same error message. Just to check, i tried to run the simulation
with a previous restart file for the same biological system which had run
succesfully earlier on the same cluster. But even this effort to repeat
the previous run failed. Also note that other users are able to run their
amber8 jobs on the same cluster (with other biological systems) without
getting this error. Any ideas about what and where the problem could be?

Thanks and Regards,
Arvind
