one atom off in the minimization result

Hello,

  I am trying to minimize my protein in a water box. The minimization
run seems to run fine, with no errors in the log file; however one of
the residues (#153) seems to be off the rest of the protein at the end
of the run.

ATOM 136 CA ASN U 152 -9.909 112.197 81.551 1.00 0.00 U
ATOM 137 CA ILE U 153 -8.986 113.903 -23.813 1.00 0.00 U
ATOM 138 CA GLN U 154 -11.491 114.281 77.206 1.00 0.00 U

  The end of the log file is as follows:
ENERGY: 10000 19574.8004 14130.9889 2429.1344

  My conf file pretty much follows the one in the tutorial. Below it
is appended for completeness.
