[AMBER] problem with TI calculations

hi all

I'm doing an one-step TI calculations for a single atom ligand mutation (H
-> F). There are sort of two issues. The first one is as follows:

***** System must be very inhomogeneous.
***** Readjusting recip sizes.
 In this slab, Atoms found: 1861 Allocated: 1781

This seems like a warning message and does not really stop the simulation.
And I see this from the first step of minimization to the final production
run. I did some research online. It could be a strange starting structure or
density problem. I checked the energy of the first step minimization, it
looks ok. There are no "******" values. One possibility is that I'm using
ntc = 1 with TIP3P water. So I switched to ntf=2, ntc=2. It didn't help.

The other problem is this:

 * NB pairs 231 1594826 exceeds capacity ( 1594870) 7
     SIZE OF NONBOND LIST = 1594870
 SANDER BOMB in subroutine nonbond_list
 Non bond list overflow!
 check MAXPR in locmem.f

This really pulls the trigger and kills the simulation. I don't know whether
this is an "outcome" of problem 1. Again I searched in AMBER archive and
examined a few things. But nothing seems to be wrong.

Any comment is greatly appreciated.

Btw, I'm pasting the input file for minimization, equilibration and
production run. Hope it helps. (it's a truncated structure so I need apply
some restrains on the outer layers)
