The first column is the internal potential term (i.e. bond, angle, dihed,
etc.), and the 1-4 non-bonded terms are added to EEL and VDW (idecomp=4).
Therefore I wouldn't expect there to be any pairwise internal terms. I
would only expect pairwise non-bonded interactions to be accumulated here.

How do you know it has ended? 4 GB files are quite large and can take a
deceptively long time to parse. How long did it hang before you killed it?
Keep in mind that this is a perl script (interpreted language), which parses
files much more slowly than a compiled language like C or Fortran.

Hope this helps,
Jason
