It appears that you got two convergence errors very early in the simulation,
and then none after that; so you are probably fine. I'd still suggest
that you re-run the minimization using ntpr=1, to get more detail about what
is going on. (However, I recognize that I recommend this strategy a lot,
and that very few people ever actually follow it...)
