Constraint failure in RATTLE

Hello:
This is to report a rather unusual "constraint failure in RATTLE algorithm
for atom 520" during non-periodic accelMD under GB conditions with namd2.9.

Atom 520 is CA of a TRP residue that makes part seven residues at one end
of a 37-residue peptide, and which are under rmsd colvars, keeping them as
an alpha-helix stretch.

This accelMD followed a series of similar accelMD, which were started after
a series of T-REMD under either non-periodic GB or periodic explicit
conditions. There was no crash before the one above. Otherwise, folding was
going on smoothly, albeit still far from completion.

Graphics does not suggest any unusual situation for CA 520. Also, namd plot
with the log file shows constant energy, even when magnified.
