[gmx-users] question about Polak Ribiere conjugate gradient

I am doing a minimization using the brand new GROMACS 3.2. It works fine on a system that previously lead to error with GROMACS 3.1.

I am working on a protein minimised under NAMD and wanted to minimise it further using GROMACS to correct some omega torsion problems. All seems to be fine, only I obtain a warning :

Stepsize too small, or no change in energy.
Converged to machine precision,
but not to the requested precision Fmax < 1e-06

I am using CG with GROMACS compiled in double precision. 

Here is the .mdp file I use.

rcoulomb                 = 1.
rvdw                     = 1.

Is there anything I've forgotten ? 

Thanks
