Hi,

there seems to be a problem when using genbox with triclinic boxes as solvent input. I have a frame 0.pdb from an equilibrated MD simulation of a triclinic box. When I take the water from the box as solvent input and the protein as "protein input" for genbox:

echo SOL | editconf -ndef -f 0.pdb -o sol.pdb
echo Protein | editconf -ndef -f 0.pdb -o prot.pdb

and then run:
genbox -cp prot.pdb -cs sol.pdb -o out.pdb

then an energy minization on out.pdb yields very large initial forces (like 1e+16). That should not be.

Making all molecules whole (via trjconv and a tpr) as suggested by the "known bug" of genbox does *not* help. What does help, however, is to run trjconv on the frame with -ur rect or -ur tric (not -ur compact).

Another weired issue is that genbox removes water molecules even if it reports that it removed zero water. By the way, the problem occurs in the 3.3.1 and in a quite recent CVS version (3.3.99_development_20080718).

Best,
Jochen
