Hello all.

I have tried to perfomed some simulations about protein dynamics, including
one copper ion around the protein by Gromacs/CPMD.  However, I get
some problems during CPMD simulation.

In the *.mdp file I added the following:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
QMMM                =  yes
QMmethod            =  CPMD
QMMMscheme          =  normal
QMMM-grps           =  QM
QMbasis             =  STO-3G
planewavecutoff     =  40
qmmmcoul_cutoff     =  40
qmbox_cpmd          =  40.0 40.0 40.0
; QM charge
QMcharge                 = 2
; QM multiplicity
QMmult                   = 1
; Surface Hopping
------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the CPMD_inp.tmpl file I added:

&CPMD
   INTERFACE GMX
   MOLECULE CENTER OFF

&DFT
  FUNCTIONAL LDA
&END

   SYMMETRY

*N_VDB.uspp BINARY NEWF TPSEU
  LMAX=P
*Cu_VDB.uspp BINARY NEWF TPSEU
  LMAX=D LOCAL=P
&END
---------------------------------------------------------------

During my simulation I get the above message:

 PROGRAM STOPS IN SUBROUTINE  SETSYS| ATOMS ARE VERY CLOSE
STOP 999
---------------------------------------------------------------

I worked only with one copper, but in the CPMD_inp.run file appears
multiple copper atoms.  Any suggestion about that.  Thanks.
