Re: [AMBER] check MAXPR in locmem.f error on minimization

Hmmm, I just noted the complaint here about a "fill_bonded:max14 exceeded!"
error in pmemd. This is an error in some setup code written by Darden, but
then ported to pmemd by me. Could you give me pmemd version and patch level
info, and perhaps let me have a copy of the system so I can do some testing?
I know of one patch that may be relevant, but would need to check it out.
Thanks - Bob Duke
