Thanks. Here's what I did:

1. Used sander to run a minimization; found a segfault after step 200.
(I was using the default value of ncyc.)

2. Repeated calculation 1 with macyc=200, so the code would stop before
the crash.

3. Ran cpptraj on the results of step 2, with the check option:

Warning: Atoms 66:SQL_1.H41 and 82258:WAT_27549.H2 are close (0.00)

Looking at the prmtop file (using parmed) I see that H41 has a charge of
-1.2 (!) which seems way wrong. In fact, all the charges seem way too
large -- you have aliphatic carbons with a charge of +2 and hydrogens
with charges of -1 (about). All charges for a saturated hydrocarbon
should be near zero -- say with hydrogens about +0.1.

This probably leads to an unstable potential energy surface, and that will
need to be fixed.

...I hope this helps in your debugging process.....dac
