There is not nearly enough information provided for an outsider to provide
any assistance. Look at the simple test cases (e.g. dhfr) in parallel. If
they fail, then look carefully at the outputs for any clues as to what is
happening. Look for differences between the 4096wat test case and the dhfr
test case -- by the logic given above, the former should pass and the latter
should fail.

On the other hand, if the test cases pass, you will need to look for
differences between your jobs and those in the test cases. In any case, any
sample calculation you run while investigating this should set ntpr=1 and
nstlim to a small value (like 10 or 20).
