[gmx-users] Water molecule can not be settled

Hi,

My simulation has fall over with this error:

t = 501.346 ps: Water molecule starting at atom 8367 can not be settled.
Check for bad contacts and/or reduce the timestep.Wrote pdb files  
with previous
and current coordinates

What can I do to fix it? There are a few other that have had this  
problem on the list, but none are using 3.3.3 or have posted the  
solution.

Bryn
