Ok yes, I got that.
I should have made it clearer.
The minimization actually run for 100 steps and did not converge.
But that is a different issue.
My probelm is that it run for 100 steps according to the log file, but 
there are only 85 frames in the trajectory file even though nstxout was 
set to 1.
What happened to the rest?
