Do you get messages in the output about removal of translation and rotation?
Do these show very high energies or temperatures? If the water cluster
is fluxional, so that there is no average structure, it is certainly possible
that removing the instantaneous rotation about the current structure may not
do what you want. How are you deicding that collective rotations are not
being removed?
