[AMBER] Halogen at the dftb level

Dear Amber users,

I am having trouble to optimize halogenated organic compounds at the qm/mm
dftb level of theory in sander. If the halogen is included in the qmmask,
sander remains idle (for days) without printing error messages. However,
when the halogen is not included in the qmmask the geometry converges
successfully in few cicles.
Has anyone experienced this type of behavior? Any help will be useful.

Sincerely,
Hector.

PS: Halogens were described by the available halorg Slater-Koster files
which are compatible with the mio-1-1 files.
Topology, coordinates and control files are available upon request.
