Hi,
I had the same problem as you, and my temporary solution to that was this :
freeEnergy       on
freeEnergyConfig {
     urestraint {
     dist group {(N,CA,C): (MOL,1),(MOL,2),(MOL,3),(MOL,4) 
                     (MOL,5),(MOL,6),(MOL,7),(MOL,8)}
                (SOLV, 795) kf=20, ref=20.0
     }
     mcti {                     |
         task = stepup          |
         equiltime = 400 ps     |
         accumtime = 200 ps     | <--- I added this part.
         numsteps  = 1          |
         print = 2.0 ps         |
     }                          |
}
Then you can make the restraint you want even if we have one thing we 
don't want : the free energy calculation. Anyway, seems like it works, 
but it doesn't look nice and I think there should be better solution.
