Dear Amber Users,

 I have some problems with minimizing system with POL3 water model.
 I tried to find all previous posts about POL3, however none of the tricks
helped me,... so I would greatly appreciate your help:

  1) the amber passed the polarizable_water model test
     ( in tests/polarizable_water)

  2) the pure bulk POL3 water model crashes with NaN energies

     input created as follows:
     loadoff solvents.lib
     loadamberparams frcmod.pol3
     WAT = PL3
     xx = copy PL3
     solvateBox xx POL3BOX 10
     saveAmberParmPol xx test.top test.inp

     minimization-input:
      &cntrl
       imin=1,
       maxcyc=1000,
       ncyc=500,
       ntb=1,
       cut=10,
       ntpr=100,
       ntc=2,
       ipol=1,
    /
 (I turned shake on as suggested in some posts, but it did not help)
     output (job crashed with Segmentation fault)
        NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME
NUMBER
      1 NaN NaN 0.0000E+00 O 1

 BOND = 136072.7823 ANGLE = 0.0000 DIHED = 0.0000
 VDWAALS = NaN EEL = NaN HBOND = 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = 0.0000 1-4 EEL = 0.0000 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 EPOLAR = NaN
 Dipole convergence: rms = NaN temperature = 0.00


  3) energy in protein with POL3 oscillate between negative and positive
     10^60 or something like that:

     NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
    200 4.5623E+80 6.1029E+83 1.5765E+86 HVC2 408

 BOND = 565.7465 ANGLE = 5864.3112 DIHED = 6390.4178
 VDWAALS = 560064.1469 EEL = ************* HBOND = 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = ************* 1-4 EEL = -752151.1078 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 EPOLAR = *************
 Dipole convergence: rms = 0.150E+46 temperature = 0.00


   NSTEP ENERGY RMS GMAX NAME NUMBER
    300 -1.2711E+80 9.5867E+82 2.9551E+85 HVC2 408

 BOND = 565.7471 ANGLE = 5864.3112 DIHED = 6390.4178
 VDWAALS = 560064.1414 EEL = ************* HBOND = 0.0000
 1-4 VDW = ************* 1-4 EEL = -396325.9653 RESTRAINT = 0.0000
 EPOLAR = *************
 Dipole convergence: rms = 0.454E+45 temperature = 0.00



 Thanks,
 Piotr
