startup phase 8: not complete!

​Hi everyone

I am trying to run a "tclBC" simulation, and NAMD hangs at "startup phase 8" (It does not parse "Info: Entering startup phase 8" in log file).
I have minimized the same model (without "tclBC") with no problem and my model runs smoothly with "tclForces" also.
The question is what is exactly done during "startup phase 8". Knowing that I may be able to figure out how to modify my model or configuration file to resolve the problem.

Thank you in advance

P.S. Here is my configuration file if it helps;

And this is where it hangs;
