Is this perhaps a really small unit cell at the start, somewhere between
15-20 angstrom on a side? Are you running an NPT ensemble, where if you
start with a density < 1.00, the box size will decrease? Are you using the
default skinnb value? As Dave mentioned, you may have other problems also,
perhaps relating to not setting things up properly. What we have here is
another of the many cases of "not enough info to really be able to help the
user".
