This is indicative of a corrupt data file. Something has gone awry. My
best guess is that it's an imaging problem. You are not using ioutfm=1, and
you are not using iwrap, so waters are diffusing away, and you're limited by
the size of the numbers in the fixed-format ASCII mdout file. I think what
has happened is one of the numbers has become too large for sander/pmemd to
print in the space allotted to it, so it gives up and fills the field with
*****s. VMD probably comes up to that number, doesn't know what to do with
it, and so moves on to the next one. At this point, your coordinates are 1-
off, leading to what you're seeing here. You can check your trajectory file
for ****s.
If this is the case, either use ioutfm=1 to use netcdf (you should do this,
anyway, since they're better in every way), and/or use iwrap=1. It's only a
matter of time before the same thing happens to your restart file, but it
probably hasn't yet since those fields are larger.

The presence of scee is slightly disturbing to me... SCEE was removed from
the &cntrl namelist and incorporated into the prmtop file for Amber11. Are
you sure you're using the up-to-date Amber11 release with all the bug fixes?
All the best,
Jason
