Dear Prof. Case,

Another interesting observation was when I applied a boost potential using
coefficients as low as b1, b2 = 0.001.

The calculation forwards usually until no boost is applied because the
unboosted energy is still higher than the threshold energy (-7438 kcal/mol)
but the moment it becomes lower and boost is applied to the system,
very high energy values are obtained in the next step. A part of amd.log
file.

What could be the reason?
