[AMBER] Vlimit error in ABMD

Hi all,

I am getting the error below in an ABMD calculation . This is a vlimit error
and I know that it can mean having bad geometries but I do not think that is
the case here.

The system has been carefully minimized and equilibrated. ABMD calculation
was started from a stable equilibrium MD of about 80ns ( actually still on
now for over 100 ns ).

I an trying to sample some dihedrals (psi,phi) just to make sure normal MD
is sampling all relevant areas. ABMD input file also pasted below.

Any thoughts welcome!

Emmanuel.

     Note: This is usually a symptom of some deeper
     problem with the energetics of the system.
