[AMBER] vlimit exceeded and distorted bonds

I am running some simulations of a small molecule I have docked to a protein using autodock vina. I ran the small molecule through antechamber, leap etc without any problems. I then wished to do the preparatory equilibration runs  as in the MMPBSA tutorial (http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial3/section1.htm)

when I get to the heating section- as seen using VMD- all the bonds in the entire system become distorted/lengthened. The only error message I get is:

mpirun -np 8 pmemd.MPI -O -i min.in -o min.out -p 2psj_2dab_11413.prmtop -c 2psj_2dab_11413.inpcrd -r 2psj_2dab_11413_min.rst -ref 2psj_2dab_11413.inpcrd
mpirun -np 8 pmemd.MPI -O -i heat.in -o 2psj_2dab_11413_heat.out -p 2psj_2dab_11413.prmtop -c 2psj_2dab_11413_min.rst -r 2psj_2dab_11413_heat.rst -x 2psj_2dab_11413_heat.mdcrd -ref 2psj_2dab_11413_min.rst
vlimit exceeded for step  16569; vmax =    29.8253
vlimit exceeded for step  16570; vmax =    60.3048

furthermore, in the min.out file, I see the error message:

     ***** REPEATED LINMIN FAILURE *****


What could be wrong here? I realize this isn't much information to go on.

Turning SHAKE off doesn't fix the problem

Thanks for any help
