In that case you probably need to track back through the various steps of
relaxation and determine when things started to go wrong. The
mdoutanalyzer tool can be helpful there, letting you plot the energy
components for each output file. when you determine when the energy started
to rise in 1 system vs the other, you might carefully visualize it to see
what happened. Usually the the time you see NaN or *** it's too late to
know the cause of the problem.
