NAMD 2.9 quits early without error message.

Hello everybody,

I bring you a riddle here to help me solve.

I am trying to run a 100000 simulation but NAMD 2.9 quits early.

My configuration file requests

# dynamics
numsteps 100000

but the last line of the output to the log file states

WRITING COORDINATES TO DCD FILE AT STEP 67000

The velocities and coordinate files did not get written. It is clearly an
unwanted early termination. No error message.

The head of the log file says

Charm++: standalone mode (not using charmrun)

I am running this on a 32 core Linux 64 machine with 256GB RAM. Notice that
this is NAMD 2.9 release.

Has anybody seen anything like this?

Thank you,
