IIRC, ibelly appears to be on the way to depreciation and people are
encouraged to use harmonic restraints instead. Even weak restraints will
keep your atoms almost as well fixed as ibelly would, but without
artificially removing degrees of freedom.

This is were the problem lies in your run, I believe ntt=3 doesnt check
for ibelly settings and still has virtual particles collide with the
supposedly non-moving atoms. This makes them move a bit, consistent with
your pictures.

Use ntt=1 if you must use ibelly (but be aware that this may introduce
problems as well), or switch to restraints.
