ERROR: Margin is too small (BUG?)

Hi,
I'm trying to minimize-heat-equilibrate a membrane. The minimization goes
well, and if I run after
that with the langevinPiston turned off it seems to run fine too, but when I
turn langevinPiston on
something happens and I get an error saying that the margin is to small. I
tried increasing its
value and this seems to solve the problem to some extent, but then the
simulation gets REALLY
slow. The output below was with margin 5. I have used this same
procedure/config (with other systems)
before succesfully. Is this really a bug as the output says?
