Dear Amber users

As written in the title, I observed that the energy was increasing
during minimization.
I have no idea how this can happen.
Can someone give me a clue?

My input script is

Minimization
&cntrl
   imin=1, ntb=0
   cut=12.0, maxcyc=500,
   ncyc=200,
   ntpr=50, ntwx=50,
  /


and part of output file...
