I've used an upwards of 9 colvars at once with no issue, and with a larger
system size than that. Can you post the *.in file or whatever file
contains all your colvars definitions? I would suspect something add with
your colvars. One thing to test might be, when you are at the largest size
that has worked (I guess 4 colvars?) try just duplicating all those colvar
blocks and see if it runs. Maybe something is wrong with the 5th colvar
definition you are entering.
