[phenixbb] reduce hangs

[Mark J van Raaij]

curiously, I observed the same thing yesterday in a refinement of a large a.u. (9 chains of just under 400 aa each), I only had 11 hours patience before cancelling the job.
In my case I am using MacOSX Snow Leopard and Phenix 1.8.4-1496, which was when I installed it recently the latest "stable" version.
I am rerunning it with more processors to see what happens and it has at least passed that same stage.
Also, the same job but without including secondary structure restraints finished correctly.
