Range checking error:<br>
Explanation: During neighborsearching, we assign each particle to
a grid<br>
based on its coordinates. If your system contains collisions or
parameter<br>
errors that give particles very high velocities you might end up
with some<br>
coordinates being +-Infinity or NaN (not-a-number). Obviously, we
cannot<br>
put these on a grid, so this is usually where we detect those
errors.<br>
Make sure your system is properly energy-minimized and that the
potential<br>
energy seems reasonable before trying again.<br>

... so you need to get out some visualization software and look at
the transformed structure :)<br>

<br>
Local minimization with EM cannot in general take a "random"
positioning of the generated atoms and make it one that will be
stable under MD. Some structure knowledge needs to be build into the
reverse transformation.<br>

The magnitude of the force suggests atomic overlap somewhere.
Start by investigating the environment around atom 1520.

The "define" statements are literal, so be careful of typos.
-DEPOSRE will not work when the topology calls for -DPOSRES.
So unless you've changed default naming for "define"
statements, you're not going to get what you expect.
