[gmx-users] distance restraints and lincs warning

Dear colleagues,

I am performing some simulations on the following system: 
3 peptide in a beta-sheet configuration + other 3 peptides 
in a beta-sheet configuration 1 nm far apart in a 
truncated octahedron box.
I imposed on both the trimers improper dihedral restraints 
on one peptide and distance restraints among the peptides 
of the trimer.
I want to bring the two trimers close together, so I 
imposed some distance restraints even between the trimers.

I have performed an energy minimization of the starting 
configuration and a further mdrun with position restraints 
(without distance restraints) for  10 ps.

Then I turn on distance restraints and WITH THE VERSION 
3.1.4 EVERYTHING WORKS, BUT WITH THE VERSION 3.2.1 IT DOES 
NOT WORK !!!

Here I give you the distance restraints that I have used. 
When I use the first 8 dist.res. and just one of the last 
four (it doesn't matter which one, but just one!) it works 
for both the versions, otherwise only version 3.1.4 works.

Here I list the options about dist. res. that I have used

disre                    = simple
disre_weighting          = equal
disre_mixed              = no
disre_fc                 = 1000
disre_tau                = 0
nstdisreout              = 100


Here it is the MESSAGE ERROR:

Any idea of what can be wrong?

Thanks
