Carlos,

It sounds like you may have identified the problem, as the only thing
I noticed in visualizing the md2_NPT trajectory is that the molecule
shifts over (translates) noticeably at step 1. That is why I tried
the Langevin thermostat, as I thought it might be a "flying ice cube"
effect. I will try setting ntcm to 0.

Many thanks,

Sally
