Yes, but note that -ddcheck is on by default anyway, and you should look into 
why this might be happening.  You can get around this error, but it often 
indicates instability.  Without a complete description of what your system is, 
what you've previously done to prepare, minimize, equilibrate, etc. we're sort 
of just guessing here.  If the system is coarse grain, then use of a large -rdd 
is typical (as you will see from many threads in the archive that address this 
case specifically).
