Is this your first run or are you restarting from a previous run? NAMD
should be able to do runs significantly longer than 1000000 steps, but
if you are restarting from a previous run using firsttimestep, if you
ever go above 2^31 steps you can overflow the integer used to store the
step number. The only good solution currently is to restart your
timestep numbering from 0 (firsttimestep 0), and offset all the step
numbers of subsequent runs by an appropriate amount during postprocessing.
Best,
