This is usually indicative of a poor contact (i.e. a couple atoms are
overlapping). It would probably be helpful to visualize the system
before and after the minimization restart file. Check that the system
was built the way you were expecting and that there are no bad
contacts. It may also be helpful to write out every frame to an mdcrd
file and run it for 5 steps to see why the system may be blowing
apart.
