You're doing energy minimization.  There is no checkpointing in EM.

As an aside, you also did not provide accurate information in your previous 
message.  You said you were using 5.1 but your .log indicates you are using 
2016, and your command line was different.  While it didn't matter here, please 
*always* provide accurate information to reach a resolution as quickly as 
possible.  Had there been some problem, we would have tried to reproduce it with 
5.1, which would have been entirely unproductive.
