The output file will show each of the angles, what its actual value is,
and what energy was applied. (Set pencut=-1. to see even zero restraint
values.) Studying this should help you understand what is happening.

Please be sure that r1 < r2 <= r3 < r4. I'm not sure what happens when
you violate this requirement.

run a short (10 step simulation), print results at every step; set LISTIN=POUT
to get more information. You can run a long simulation later, once you are
confident you understand what is going on.
