Dear all,
I have a molecule consist of 81 atoms in vacume and I want to calculate the
normal modes of it. The first conjgrad minimization is done successfully
but in Newton-Raphson after the first step the energy goes to infinity.
Does Anyone have any idea what the problem can be? Following you can see
the input and output.

Input:
--------------------------------------------------------
m = getpdb("res478_min.pdb");
allocate m_xyz[3*m.natoms];
allocate f_xyz[3*m.natoms];

readparm(m, "res478.prmtop");

mm_options("cut=100.0, ntpr=50, nsnb=20, gb=0, diel=C");
mme_init(m, NULL, "::ZZZZ", m_xyz, NULL);

// Do some conjugate gradients.
dgrad = 0.005;
setxyz_from_mol( m, NULL, m_xyz );
ier = conjgrad(m_xyz, 3*m.natoms, fret, mme, dgrad, 1.0, 20000);

// Do some Newton-Raphson.
mm_options("ntpr=1");
dgrad = 1.e-12;
ier = newton(m_xyz, 3*m.natoms, fret, mme,mme2, dgrad, 0.0, 100);

// get the normal modes:
ier = nmode( m_xyz, 3*m.natoms,mme2, 20,0,0,0,0);
