Please copy/paste your min.in and md.in files for minimization and heating.

Since the O and H1 are explicitly bonded I do not understand why SHAKE would want to constrain these bonds. Am I reading the error correctly? In parmed.py printBonds, printAngles, printDetails and printDihedrals for this water molecule all seem fine.
