Lattice commands,Is it a bug?

Hi, all lammps users:
I am tring to calculate system energy by using lammps, my input file is as follows, but i am always encounting an error : " pair distance < table inner cutoff", my applied potential is a table file, named my.table, is in the attachment.
input file:

However, if we define the t7 region as :“region t7 block 0 40 0 40 20.001 40”,it did work, I don’t know why, May it related to lattice define or boundary conditions(p or s)? can someone give me some advice? Thank you very much!

my.table (1.22 MB)

From doc/Section_errors.html:

Pair distance < table inner cutoff
Two atoms are closer together than the pairwise table allows.

You can verify this from dumping a snapshot and looking
at the atom coords, and comparing to your pair table file.

It’s up to you to figure out why atom coords are so close
together. Could be you created them that way, or they became
close during dynamics.

Dear steve:
Thanks for reply! Indeed the atom coords are very close together, I will check it by myself.
