Does this happen for all values of lambda? Do you have similar problems with
either V0 or V1 by itself? What happens if you don't use softcore? Is there
something unusual about this system? (That is, can you run most softcore
problems OK, but have problems only with this one system)?
There are many things that can cause instabilities. As you can see from the
questions above, you will need to spend some time trying to narrow down the
problem.

This is normal, if (as is usual) only a few atoms are in the softcore region.
