[AMBER] Problem in TI output

Hi,

I am performing a one-step Thermodynamic Integration (TI) calculation to
mutate Nd³⁺ into Yb³⁺ using non-softcore potentials. The calculations are
being run with *pmemd*, and I have set the keyword *logdvdl=1* so that all
dvdl values are printed at the end of the output file. However, in the
output file, I noticed that for certain values of lambda, I am getting the
following output:

Summary of dvdl values over 3000000 steps:
   -66.5444
   -65.6382
   -65.6035
   -66.5655
   -68.4412

   -74.8109
   -76.9463
   -78.3785
   -78.4292"

The output file initially prints 'Summary of dvdl values over 3,000,000
steps' and displays 1,664 steps. Then it proceeds with additional
calculations and later prints the complete 'Summary of dvdl values over
3,000,000 steps' with all the dvdl values included. I'm unsure why the
output is structured this way or what might be causing the issue. Any
insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Best,
Tamalika
