Setting iwrap=1 and restarting from an earlier restart file should solve the
problem.
If you plan to run very long simulations, setting iwrap = 1 is a good idea.
I forgot what was the reason that iwrap=0 was set as the default. I
typically compile my code after changing the line from "iwrap=0" to
"iwrap=1" in read.f.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion,
as you mention the restart file sander have several **** instead of a
number,
so that must be the cause of the problem. I will try iwrap=1.
Only one more question, should I restart all the simulation, or could I
begin to
use iwrap=1 just from now on, from the simulation that has failed, and
mantain
the older ones with iwrap=0? Will ptraj post-processing will correct this
mixture and change translating molecules back to the primary box?
Thanks again for you help,
