Examine md_vdw_0.45.rst with a text editor. You will find that there are "*"
characters, where the coordinates became so large that they would not longer
fit into the area reserved for them.

This might be just because the whole molecule has drifted very far from the
origin, or it might be a sign of bad behavior in the simulation. The easiest
way to start is to visually examine the system at various times during the
simulation to see what has taken place. Also be sure to examine the energies
closely to see any evidence of bad behavior.
