What did you do to fix the problem?

Did it work the second time?

The tolerance setting the desired value of Fmax. If the EM algorithm reaches a
force below the tolerance, it finishes. Without knowing what your system is or
what you intend to do, it's impossible to state what level of emtol is sufficient.
