[AMBER] MMPBSA.py QM entropy calculation error

   All,
   I am experimenting with using entropy=1 with MMPBSA.py to calculate the
   entropy term in the binding energy of a ligand to a protein. However, every
   time I run the program it uses an enormous amount of memory (15GB on my 16GB
   workstation) and then crashes with std::bad_alloc.
   This appears to be a C memory error. I am uncertain if it is a memory leak
   or that perhaps my system is too large to use QM.
   I am using Ambertools 15, completely patched.
   My system is a 46kda protein in a hydrated dimer complex binding a small
   molecule (monomer 6307 atoms, dimer + waters ~82760 atoms).
   Suggestions welcomed.
