Dear Dr. Walker,

I also used the same input files for sander which run on the server
(4nodes, 8ppn), but there have been no problems.
Because the errors hang the system, so I did a force reboot. It was
successful, but again crashed when i repeated the job.
I will do some checks as you suggested, and let you know later.

Thank you.
