GMAX still high (atom w/ max force on it).
The high 1-4 EEL suggests to me that there are oppositely-charged
atoms near each other, possibly across residue boundaries.

How many total atoms? In vacuum? Box is mentioned later..
It's hard to guess whether you are finding a problem with your
residue definition (e.g. charge derivation), or with the program due
to unusual topology.

Unusual to have the box too small for minimization.

Leap's minimization is relatively crude, e.g. it doesn't use charge
or vdw info. It's not used much and could be buggy. I only used it
for cleaning up selected atoms' conformation.
I'm afraid I can't suggest much, just that you could try to find the
size at which the system switches from acceptable to problematic
behavior, which could help debugging.
