Prathit,

I tried to run your input. I get this error message:
Error: keyword "lower" is not supported, or not recognized in this context.

that happens because you wrote "lower boundary" instead of one word
"lowerBoundary"

If I correct this, I get the expected error:
Error: one or more of the components of colvar "hlx_frac" does not
support system force calculation.

If you are running these tests on a supercomputer, I suspect that the
input file accessible to the compute nodes is not updated correctly,
and that you are actually running an outdated input file.
