I now increased the no. of chains to 10. The system now consists of 120
beads. Will all the tabulated potentials, following is the snippet form the
log file:

Due the limitation in the no. of beads, the simulation runs on single
processor. The mdrun doesnot show any error. It proceeds upto 200000000
steps. But we can see from the log file after 77675000 steps there is some
problem.
I also run a simulation with just 2 chains (24 beads). The simulation
proceeds smoothly. Output of log file:

I donot understand what might be the problem. Is it actually the input
tabulated potentials or something else?
Some insight to it would be very helpful.
