It is certainly possible that the system may come to some configuration where
the SCF procedure no longer converges. Be sure you are running in serial
mode, set ntpr=ntwx=1, and do a short simulation of 500 steps or so (which
will presumably fail around step 250. Examine the energetics and geometry
near the point of failure.
...good luck....dac
