This might not do what you want it to; you should plot the restraint
function vs distance, and see the sort of behavior you get with various
choices of r1, r2, r3, r4.

try to choose rk2 and rk3 so that the steepness of the penalty outside the
50--60 range is enough to restrain the system.

This could be because the system really wants to go to short distances; take
some snapshots at 30 Ang. and look at the restraint energy and system energy;
compare those to typical results where the distance is above 50 Ang. See if
you can learn what sort of forces you can have in your system that would favor
short distances.

Be *sure* to compare sample results between GPU and CPU runs: support for
these sorts of restraints in the GPU code is rather recent, and you might be
encountering a bug.
