Well, I have no helpful response to that result, except maybe something
is wrong with your prmtop file. Please post the commands you used in
leap to get the prmtop and input coordinate file. Also, it might be
useful to see the start and end of the input coordinate file. If
INPUTFILE is the name of your input coordinate file, please post the
results of:
head INPUTFILE
and
tail INPUTFILE
Although I can't think of a reason why this might show a problem, please
post the results of:
wc INPUTFILE
