Hi,
  I searched the code for that error, and it appears to be coming from
the PME potential GUI plugin. I'm wondering if you have your LOCALE
set to something unusual that is causing problems for that code?

Does this error arise during VMD startup, or after you do something
specific in the program?

Cheers,
