You are running into a 32-bit overflow problem. For 32-bit integers, 2^31 is the largest representable number. Set "firsttimestep 0" in your config file. It'll give you another 2 billion steps of MD before you need to worry about it again. At some point there were rumblings of switching many of the counters over to 64-bit, but I don't know if that has happened yet. It certainly hadn't happened in NAMD 2.10.

I'm using namd 2.10
On some stage when I'm trying to restart from restart files, I'm getting a negative value of step and simulation stops.
I tried to modify parameters in my config file, but nothing helps.
any idea what may cause that?
