[AMBER] HMR 4fs failure?

Hello,

I have a protein system in water (321,300 atoms including ~100,000 water
molecules). I'm trying to use Hydrogen Mass Repartitioning (HMR) to
benefit a 4 fs timestep. However, it seems to fail. dt = 0.002 is OK,
but with dt = 0.003, the temperature goes bad after a few thousands
steps, and with dt = 0.004, it's even faster. This is for pmemd.cuda
with Amber16 (all last patches applied) as well as pmemd.MPI.

The mdin file is:
&cntrl
   imin = 0, ntx = 5, irest = 1,
   dt = 0.004, nstlim = 1000000,
   ntb = 1,
   ntt = 1, ig = -1, temp0 = 300.,
   ntc = 2,
   ntpr = 1000, ntwx = 10000, ntwv = 00, ntwe = 10000,
/

 From the mdin of the GPU benchmark, I've also tried to add tol =
0.000001 as well as ntf = 2. No improvement.

Any idea?

Gerald.
