This looks like a problem with SHAKE inputs: you are shaking the MM bonds
involving hydrogen, but have set qmshake=0, which turns off shake in the
quantum region. I'm guessing that the code is computing the number of
degrees of freedom assuming shake is turned on, and is not correcting that
number when it processes the qmshake=0 input.

Try adjusting either qmshake or the noshakemask variables so that you are
doing the same amount of SHAKEing in both qm and mm calculations. (Simplest
is to use the default value for qmshake, which should be OK unless bonds to
hydrogen are being made or broken.)

...good luck...dac
