[AMBER] GPU memory error during ABMD run

Dear AMBER community,

I've recently been encountering an error when I try to run a single-walker
flooding-type adaptively biased MD run using pmemd.cuda. The run will
proceed as expected until around 1/10 of the expected duration, at which
point it will quit and write out a single error message:

cudaMemcpy GpuBuffer::Download failed an illegal memory access was
encountered

This has occurred in both AMBER18 and AMBER20, and has occurred with
identical simulations that ran properly a few months ago. I'm wondering if
anyone has ever experienced this issue, and if so what was causing it? Any
thoughts would be appreciated. The relevant .cntl and .in files are below:
