The initial energy/forces are HUGE. I would not expect a good outcome.
I suggest looking at the initial structure and trying to see why there is
such high energy, particularly around the atom listed for the GMAX above
the energy details. the VDW energy gets reduced by step 1000, but the bond
energy has gone up a lot, and I would worry that the initial energy was
enough to cause problems in the structure.
