Hello Andrew.

It sounds like you have had great patience with MODELLER - I think you might 
have actually got the code working properly. The problem could be here :

> SET SEARCH_RANDOMIZATIONS = 100

>From the looks of the manual page concerning the SEQUENCE_SEARCH procedure:
http://salilab.org/modeller/manual/node105.html
it seems this variable defines the number of repeated, randomised alignments 
are made in order to get good confidence estimates for your alignments. I 
would expect modeller will try to do the alignment set 100 times, shuffling 
your query sequence each time.  100 might be a little bit excessive for a 
full database search.
As for making the 'maximum job time' longer, I've no idea but there is 
probably another variable for that!

I hope this relieves some of the perplexity.
Jim
