I agree that we should not get a segfault here, but would like to know
more about the actual reason that delr2 is zero.
Could you ask the user to use the cpptraj "checkoverlap" command to see
if there are close atomic contacts? That would help in narrowing down
the problem.

This could be done, but we would have to see if it would have an impact
on performance -- I'm wary of putting extra if statements into inner loops.
(And while I agree in principle that programs should not segfault, there
are places in high-performance code where the (simple) cure may be worse
than the disease.
If the user doesn't have an obviously bad structure, see if you can send
files that would allow us to try to reproduce the problem.
Thanks for the report....dac
