This appears to be a single frame in which the van der Waals energy is
out of control. Look through the _MMPBSA_mutant_complex.mdout files and
try to find which frame it is. It may help visualizing the
corresponding _MMPBSA_mutant_complex.mdcrd file in VMD to try and find
the steric clash leading to this problem.

One solution would be to simply omit this frame from your analysis
(although it would be better to figure out why it appears to have been
corrupted).
