Dear All,

I have run into this problem while using tpbconv. I typically write a new set of output files every ~ 600 ns. However, after about 108 repeats, tpbconv fails to write a new .tpr file:

###################
tpbconv -s poptocg25-108.tpr -extend 600000 -o poptocg25-109.tpr

...
...
Reading toplogy and shit from poptocg25-108.tpr
Reading file poptocg25-108.tpr, VERSION 4.0.4 (single precision)
Extending remaining runtime of by 600000 ps (now -2134967296 steps)

There's the problem. The variable that counts the number of steps is signed, and has overflowed. It seems even a "long" variable is not enough for CG simulations :-) Please post a bugzilla and it will get fixed for the next version.

Meantime, you can work around the situation by building a new .tpr that continues from your last endpoint.

Mark

You've simulated long enough. Not writing tpr file

However, there is no problem if I try to extend the run by only 60 ns?

###################
tpbconv -s poptocg25-108.tpr -extend 600000 -o poptocg25-109.tpr

Thank you for the help,
