Ah, you're right. One of the CG which caused the crash is the following,
with 2 H's in one CG:
1 amber99_39 1 NPRO N 1 -0.202 16.026 ;
qtot -0.202
2 amber99_17 1 NPRO H1 2 (!) 0.312
0 ; qtot 0.11
3 amber99_17 1 NPRO H2 2 (!) 0.312 0
; qtot 0.422
4 amber99_11 1 NPRO CD 3 -0.012 14.026 ;
qtot 0.41
Note however, that the CG which also caused crashes was different, with
2 vsites and 1 heavy atom in the same group, plus a separate CG with 3
hydrogens. According to the lincs warning and 1-4 distance error, the
hydrogens seemed to be involved. Typically the warning/error mentioned
the hydrogen to have moved/rotated too much:
1 MNH3 1 NASN MN1 1 0 8.517 ;
qtot 0
2 MNH3 1 NASN MN2 1 0 8.517 ;
qtot 0
3 amber99_39 1 NASN N 1 0.1801 0 ;
qtot 0.1801
4 amber99_17 1 NASN H1 2 0.1921 0 ;
qtot 0.3722
5 amber99_17 1 NASN H2 2 0.1921 0 ;
qtot 0.5643
6 amber99_17 1 NASN H3 2 0.1921 0 ;
qtot 0.7564
7 amber99_11 1 NASN CA 3 0.0368 13.018 ;
qtot 0.7932

I will get the lates gmx with your bugfix and write back if the crashes
still appear.

I don't understand that either. The result is the same no matter if I
use -ignh, or if the hydrogens are present in the input gro file or not.
For examle, using
pdb2gmx -f asn[-h].gro -ff amber99sb [-ignh]
with asn-h.gro or asn.gro are just the ASN at the N-terminus (with or
without hydrogens), e.g. asn-h.gro:
Gallium Rubidium Oxygen Manganese Argon Carbon Silicon
8
97NASN N 1423 0.062 -1.317 1.235
97NASN CA 1427 0.109 -1.209 1.154
97NASN CB 1429 0.233 -1.249 1.073
97NASN CG 1432 0.213 -1.368 0.981
97NASN OD1 1433 0.263 -1.478 1.005
97NASN ND2 1434 0.143 -1.345 0.867
97NASN C 1437 0.003 -1.148 1.068
97NASN O 1438 0.033 -1.090 0.964
0.00000 0.00000 0.00000
The written topology is:
[ atoms ]
; nr type resnr residue atom cgnr charge mass
typeB chargeB massB
1 amber99_39 1 NASN N 1 0.1801 14.01 ;
qtot 0.1801
2 amber99_17 1 NASN H1 2 0.1921 1.008 ;
qtot 0.3722
3 amber99_17 1 NASN H2 2 0.1921 1.008 ;
qtot 0.5643
4 amber99_17 1 NASN H3 2 0.1921 1.008 ;
qtot 0.7564
5 amber99_11 1 NASN CA 3 0.0368 12.01 ;
qtot 0.7932
6 amber99_28 1 NASN HA 4 0.1231 1.008 ;
qtot 0.9163
...
Weird. The same thing happens by the way with a proline N-terminus, no
matter if hydrogens are present before pdb2gmx or not.
So thanks a lot for the help,
Jochen
