problem in FIST calculations of calcite (NaNs after 1st step)

Hi Matt,

thanks for your answer. The issue was caused by wrongly formatted psf file 
- last two indices for torsion angles were pointing to the same atoms. 
After correction calcs start running OK but after while they crash. I need 
to make more tries but it seems that there are no problems if I use default 
units. All the parameters are taken from Pavese and Parker's potential  
which I used with DL_POLY, but maybe it will be better to move them into 
default units   

cheers

Wojtek
