Usual debugging advice: set nstlim to some small value (say 100), and ntpr and
ntwx to 1. See what happens (use the CPU version in serial). Is the energy
at the start of MD the same as at the end of minimization? Does it fail on
the first step or later? If later, look at the structures in the mdcrd file
to see if you can find problems.
