I honestly have no idea how you could get such characters in your trajectory
file. There is certainly nothing in the code that would print this. It is
possible to get *'s in the trajectory file if the coordinates become too
large but in your case this is not what is happening. The fact that removing
them makes it work is amazing. I would have suggested that what you had was
file corruption, this can happen sometimes due to disk / network errors etc
but normally this results in a whole block just being garbage.
Thus in conclusion I have no idea how the !'s would have got there except if
someone somehow edited the file and added them for some strange reason.
Sorry I can't be of any more help. If you can find a way to reliably
reproduce the problem please post it and then we can look into how it
happens.
All the best
Ross
