Dear Amber developers and users,
I'm trying REMD with Amber14's pmemd.MPI.
Although REMD simulation proceeds, 
I encountered anomalous situation.
"nstlim" is not reflected correctly,
Instead, "anomalously huge number" was given for "Total steps" in mdinfo.
Here is one of input files:
=====================================================
REMD
 &cntrl
   irest=0, ntx=1, 
   nstlim=500000, dt=0.002,
   irest=0, ntt=3, gamma_ln=1.0,
   temp0=360.0, ig=21016,
   ntc=2, ntf=2, nscm=1000,
   ntb=0, igb=5,
   cut=999.0, rgbmax=999.0, extdiel = 78.5, 
   ntpr=500, ntwx=500, ntwr=100000,
   numexchg=50000,   
/
======================================================
I used following command to submit job:
mpirun -np 24 pmemd.MPI -ng 12 -groupfile remd.groupfile < /dev/null
Shown below is mdinfo in the middle of simulation.
NSTLIM is over 500000 already.
======================================================
NSTEP =   746000   TIME(PS) =    1492.000  TEMP(K) =   551.07  PRESS =     0.0
 Etot   =      -395.2254  EKtot   =       125.3866  EPtot      =      -520.6120
 BOND   =        18.2740  ANGLE   =        77.7230  DIHED      =        32.1195
 1-4 NB =        17.8187  1-4 EEL =     -1168.7411  VDWAALS    =        -7.6935
 EELEC  =       590.2709  EGB     =       -80.3836  RESTRAINT  =         0.0000
 TEMP0  =       540.0000  REPNUM  =              8  EXCHANGE#  =              2

=========================================================
Maybe, this simulation takes 6 days in my platform.
Why does this kind of error appear?
Is this due to input file or Amber14 itself?
I'm most grateful if you give some advices to resolve this problem.
Best regards,
