Negative NLO cross section of p p > t t~ [QCD]

Dear Mg5 developers,

Recently, I attempt to calculate NLO total cross section of the p p > t t~ process in MG5 and obtain a negative result when Sqrt[Scms]=400 GeV. But according to 0812.0353, the results near the threshold should be positive.
So I want to ask whether I made some mistakes during the manipulations.

In the calculation, I have used the NLO pdfs and do not implement any cuts on this channel. The Parton shower is also switched off.
 My running details are attached below.

Best Regards!
Wanli Ju
