Your best bet is to visualize the results of your trajectory after
centering/imaging. Instead of calculating RMSD, write the coordinates
to an output trajectory with the 'trajout' command. You don't need to
do this for the entire trajectory, just the frames where you are
getting the questionable RMSD values. For example, if your system is a
dimer or a tetramer it may be that during imaging the molecules have
become separated, which would result in high RMSD values. If this is
the case then you need to take this into account when choosing what to
image.
