I don't quite understand why you send the same mail again ?

I guess I answered to you (the mailing list) and explained all the 
"errors" you made for such a MD calculation.

http://zeus.theochem.tuwien.ac.at/pipermail/wien/2015-January/022270.html

If these errors persist in a "good" calculation too, I'm willing to look 
into it.
