Colvars keyword problem

Dear NAMD experts,

I have a problem with *targetEquilSteps *keyword in colvars file, according
to UG it should be in harmonic context (
http://www.ks.uiuc.edu/Research/namd/cvs/ug/node58.html#22213), following
error appears (NAMD 2.9 Linux and Windows versions tested):
colvars: Error: keyword "targetequilsteps" is not supported, or not
recognized in this context.
without this keyword run starts normally, output suggests, that
targetEquilSteps is not supposed in colvars at all (see below). Any ideas
how to enable discarding of equilibrating steps?

Thank you in advance,
Sofya
