Thanks so much for your prompt response.
I checked the final .rst file and didn't find a * character. But the coordinates corresponding to the solvent waters have very large absolute values, which suggests that the some water molecules run far away from the primary unit (see below). I don't know whether amber can read the coordinates from .rst file if two coordinates are placed without no space between them, such as 262.8406697-285.5083095 ?
When the wrapping option is turned on at the final .rst file, are the trajectories produced with iwrap=1 consistent with the previous ones with iwrap=0?
part of .rst file:

it looks like it might be that the coordinates are too large to fit the
restart format. you can confirm by visually inspecting the restart file and
looking for * characters.
it usally happens in a long run because the water diffuses so far from the
origin. this can be avoided in long runs by turning on wrapping (iwrap=1)
