I honestly have no idea.  There's something nasty going on there, but only you 
have the ability to see it.  You can always try a smaller value of emstep, a 
different EM algorithm, etc.  Try setting nstxout = 1 and visualize the entire 
EM "trajectory" to see where things start to go out of control.  And finally, if 
it really isn't working, ask the people who provided the coordinates - they're 
supposed to be pre-equilibrated, so if you can't get it to minimize, maybe 
there's something wrong that's happened before you even got your hands on the file.
