This indicates that the minimizer is having a hard time finding a local
minimum. There's not much you can do about it short of finding another
way to minimize your structures before feeding it to MMPBSA.py. If a
minimum cannot be found, that snapshot will likely be skipped when doing
the normal mode calculations.
