AMBER: BOND energy during minimisation

Dear all,

When I am doing minimization under constraint with AMBER7, it appears
that BOND energy is increasing dramatically, which I do not understand.
I have this same behavior with all my systems, so I guess it is not due
to it.
Moreover, when looking at the structure after the minimization, everything
looks alright.
Can anybody explain me this behavior ?

Thank you in advance,
Fabien

I put here a piece of the results and my script of minimisation :
*************************************************************************
***************************** mini.in *****************************
*************************************************************************
Minimizing the system with 25 kcal/mol restraints on the protein, 500 steps
of steepest descent and 500 of conjugated gradient
 &cntrl
   imin=1, ntx=1, irest=0, ntpr=50, ntf=1, ntb=1,
   cut=9.0, ntr=1, maxcyc=2000, ncyc=500, ntmin=1,
 &end
Group input for protein restraints: 25 kcal/mol.
 25.0
RES 1 442
