[AMBER] Issue heating system in equilibration step

Hello all,


I've been trying to equilibrate a protein embedded in a lipid bilayer and have been having some issues. So far, I've been roughly using the AMBER lipid tutorial at

http://ambermd.org/tutorials/advanced/tutorial16/index.html as a guide. I've been able to minimize the system in three phases, minimizing the waters, then the waters and the lipids, then minimizing the whole system. However, when I attempt to heat the system, pmemd.cuda dumps core with the following message:


*** Error in `pmemd.cuda': double free or corruption (out): 0x000000000448df70 ***

In the heat.out file where AMBER writes its output, the last line is "LOADING THE CONSTRAINED ATOMS AS GROUPS". AMBER also writes a NetCDF trajectory file, but when I view it in VMD, there are no atoms and the size of the NetCDF file is significantly smaller than I expect. I've opened the min_system.rst file that the heating step starts from in VMD and it seems to be fine. I've also been able to minimize the min_system.rst file again, so it doesn't seem like the restart file is the problem. From a conceptual standpoint, I was also unsure if when heating the system, I should restrain only the protein (resids 1-498) or the protein and the lipids (resids 1-1215). I've also tried removing the constraints on the system and it dumps core at the same place, though doesn't print "LOADING THE CONSTRAINED ATOMS AS GROUPS" and instead prints a line of dashes like the file was going to go on to the next section of the output.


Below is my heat.out file. (Note: I know that AMBER16 is not particularly current, but my lab has custom code written for AMBER16 that necessitates its use.) Any suggestions to fix this issue or insights into what is going wrong are welcome. Thanks!
