Hello, I'm trying to simulate a water box with protein and drug. Having set up the simulation, starting mdrun causes no problems on its own. However, after setting the GMX_NB_GENERIC environment variable and restarting the simulation, it crashes at step 20 with too many LINCS warnings. Disabeling the environment variable makes mdrun run normal again.
Where is this different behavior coming from and is this solvable? Using Gromacs 4.0.5. Attached the screen output and the log file. Thanks in advance, Pieter van 't Hof Graduate student Utrecht University

Fatal error:
Too many LINCS warnings (1576)
If you know what you are doing you can adjust the lincs warning threshold in your mdp file
or set the environment variable GMX_MAXCONSTRWARN to -1,
but normally it is better to fix the problem
