It looks like one of the replicas crashed and hence the "slightly shorter"
trajectory. You could 1) visualize the shorter trajectory - Something
wrong will likely be apparent, 2) take the most recent 026.rst file and
start a single temperature simulation to monitor it's behavior. You
should be able to query the the total energy and it's components very
often (more often than you probably did in your replica exchange
simulation).

Good luck
