[AMBER] High temperature at the beginning

Dear AMBER users,

I am doing simulations about protein stretching, and using a script so that
the output is fragmented in pieces. This makes a new simulation start every
few steps, using as input the output of the last. However, when I run this
script, the first step has a really high temperature (which is immediately
corrected in the next step).

I am attaching my mdin file, and the output I get, from one of the runs of
the script. This one is an example with restrained atoms, but the same
applies to atoms without constrains

I hope someone can help me find a reason as to why this might happen, since
I think it is the origin of some mistakes in my simulations.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,
