I don't think you can do that. The wrapping facility inside sander is very
primitive, and DNA strand separation is one bad thing that can happen.
If the problem occurs only at the restart, you can use ptraj to correctly
image the system, save the coordinates in restart format, then paste back in
the velocities from the original restart file. This is a pain, but not hard
once you get the hang of it.

Perhaps others on the list have some better ideas.]
