[gmx-users] Fumbling in the dark with dihedral pulling

Hello.

I've been trying to do coordinate pulling of dihedral angles of an alanine dipeptide in vacuum and used the umbrella sampling tutorial as a starting point. I'm trying to generate initial configurations for later runs, but the mdrun ends in a segmentation fault with error messages like:

Wrote pdb files with previous and current coordinates
Segmentation fault: 11

Perhaps the seg fault is not related to the warnings at all but as I am not certain what they mean and do think they are enough to cause some problems anyway I would like to understand them in general and also know what columns previous and current are saying.

As the original tutorial was done for a water solution and mine is conducted in vacuum I am guessing my modifications to the .mdp files are not completely updated so any tips on that woul also be helpful.
