Hi,

I fixed the bug for version 4.0.3.
There was also a bug with writing the forces at the end
with nstfout=0.

But if you are minimizing for starting a md simulation,
you do not need cg, steepest descents is enough
(with em_tol of 1000 or 100).

Note that in 4.0 you can now minimize with constraints,
box for water and other molecules.

If you really need to run parallel cg now, you can use
the -pd switch of mdrun.
