[gmx-users] cholesterol bond rotation

Hello,
I've built a lipid bilayer in Martini consisting of DPPC, DUPC, and cholesterol. When I try to do an energy minimization using the minimization.mdp provided in the Martini lipid bilayer tutorial (http://md.chem.rug.nl/cgmartini/index.php/bilayers), I get a large number (several dozen) of LINCS warnings. The warnings say that the bonds rotated more than 30 degrees. In each case, the two beads forming the bond are in a cholesterol molecule. When I look at the trajectory animation, I can see that these beads begin jiggling during the simulation, but there is no major change in the conformation of any cholesterol molecule. Should I be concerned, or would it be safe to ignore these warnings?
Thanks for any advice.
Michael
