[AMBER] Question regarding HAS_10_12 flag in PMEMD (LINMIN Failure)

Hello,

We compiled sander and pmemd with -DHAS_10_12 (10-12 Hydrogen Bonding
Potential), and set up a short, 1000-step minimization run with ubiquitin.

However, the HAS_10_12 flag in PMEMD creates massive instabilities and
inaccuracies, as I compare an example output of sander and pmemd below.
The minimization eventually terminates due to repeated LINMIN failure.

We verified that the same problem occurs on multiple machines over
multiple versions of compilers, so this problem seems to do with source
code of PMEMD and how it treats 10-12 potential.

Has anyone either encountered the same problem, or has successfully run
PMEMD with HAS_10_12? Otherwise, a look into the PMEMD 10-12 potential
source code would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Brian.
