This sounds pathological (and/or a bug), but it's difficult to tell
without looking at the model and data - would you be willing to send
the files to us privately?  (I'm sure Pavel will want to see it too,
so help at phenix-online.org is the best address for this.)

One suggestion would be to run AutoBuild - with 1.6Å data it should
work very well (as long as you enter the appropriate twin law).

thanks,
Nat
