Minimizing your periodic system with ntb=0 is probably not what you
want. The biggest issue with this is that when ntb=0 sander/pmemd have
no concept of periodic boundaries, so molecules can go flying off into
space. Then if you try to simulate with periodic boundaries on using
those coords you will likely get some strange clashes/behavior.

That being said I can reproduce the segfault. I'll look into it
further and let you know what I find.
