> The minimization always fails after ncyc steps, apparently independently of what ncyc actually is and without any specific error message. I tried setting ntpr=1 but also here no specific error.

> I run the minimization with pmemd and sander. See below for an excerpt of the output. I tried sending it with the complete file attached but the mail bounced back.

> I checked my structure with cpptraj check, and there are some close contacts, and a bond that is too long. However I was hoping to fix this by minimization. If required I can provide the topology and coordinates file.
