David, thanks for your reply.

All test performed by `make test` pass.

Running my complex at dt=0.001 (and even 0.0001 and 0.000001) changes
nothing, it immediately NaNs.
Running with ntpr_md=1 shows that it fails at the very first step:

I've used two machines, both give the same result.
AmberTools12, gcc 4.6.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64
AmberTools12, gcc 4.4.3 on Ubuntu 10.04 x86_64
./configure -rism gnu

I've tried changing `maxiter` parameter in `rattle` function to 100000
(instead of 1000): it still NaNs at the first step of MD, but does not
produce any error.

An archive with .prm/.crd/.pdb files produced by pytleap and minimized
.pdb files (in min/ directory) is available at
[http://hpc.mipt.ru/html/aland/mdnab.tar.gz].
The parameters are `mdnab <minimized.pdb> <param.prm> <outfile> 2 500`
cdk6_p6_3 is faulty one, cdk6_p6_1 runs perfectly fine.

Another question: If I disable RATTLE at all and then run simulation
with dt=0.001, will it be enough to produce sensible results, or will
disabling RATTLE require more changes to MD parameters?
