Dear all:
I've been experiencing with rbcg using NAMD for a while, and often got
the error "FATAL ERROR: Bad global exclusion count!" during the
simulation, even with a time step as small as 5 fs. (This could also
partially blame the calculation I was doing probably, pulling peptide
through membrane)
Searching about the list, I found the following reply from peter:

If this is the case, I wonder would decrease the number of cpus used,
or increase the "margin" parameter help in solving the problem? Is
there other way to systemically reduce the error occurring?
BTW, I do NOT think this error occurs due to bad initial
configuration, because it could happen after several ten ns running.
Thanks a lot.
