I'm a little confused here, and would recommend careful testing if you are
setting rk2 to a negative number. I've not done that but it *sounds*
dangerous. Probably a good idea to numerically plot the function vs.
distance, and make sure you are getting the behavior you want.

If you do a one-step calculation with LISTIN=POUT, you will see additional
details of exactly how the restraints are being implemented. Try with a
starting structure where you expect a restraint but don't get one. This may
help in tracking down the problem.
