We need more details about what happens when you get all zeros. What values
of clambda and klambda and icfe are you using?

This is not so clear. Do you mean that running the *exact* same job gives
different answers at different times? Also, I don't really understand what
you mean by "running two molecules with identical starting positions but
different charges, one may fail but the other will not". What exactly is
the "one" that fails and "the other" that does not?
