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.

Best regards,
Meisam

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);
