Fix written, but it looks like your test case isn't stable on a CPU:


wrapping first mol.: -106.78485 75.50831 130.78422

 NSTEP = 419 TIME(PS) = 100.655 TEMP(K) = 310.24 PRESS =
38.3
 Etot = -821073.3783 EKtot = 197974.6983 EPtot =
-1019048.0766
 BOND = 7225.8198 ANGLE = 20282.5049 DIHED =
25288.9107
 1-4 NB = 7993.3767 1-4 EEL = 64395.7655 VDWAALS =
113322.4023
 EELEC = -1257556.8565 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 EKCMT = 85727.6418 VIRIAL = 83112.9747 VOLUME =
3163587.3994
                                                    Density =
1.0130
 Ewald error estimate: 0.7254E-05
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

vlimit exceeded for step 419; vmax = 31.2712

     Coordinate resetting cannot be accomplished,
     deviation is too large
     iter_cnt, my_bond_idx, i and j are : 5 17724 35719 35720


On the GPU with the XH4 (X 'cuz it's cool) SHAKE code, I got to step 1016
before I terminated, it looked like:

 NSTEP = 1016 TIME(PS) = 101.588 TEMP(K) = 310.21 PRESS =
-50.5
 Etot = -820346.7580 EKtot = 197959.3125 EPtot =
-1018306.0705
 BOND = 7186.5762 ANGLE = 20059.4155 DIHED =
25244.7360
 1-4 NB = 7950.3435 1-4 EEL = 64571.7679 VDWAALS =
112082.6139
 EELEC = -1255401.5236 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 EKCMT = 85654.1222 VIRIAL = 89107.1805 VOLUME =
3168254.7911
                                                    Density =
1.0115
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Since in both cases step 1 looks like:
 NSTEP = 1 TIME(PS) = 100.002 TEMP(K) = 303.16 PRESS =
49.8
 Etot = -831389.1144 EKtot = 193459.4531 EPtot =
-1024848.5675
 BOND = 6650.7913 ANGLE = 18819.2775 DIHED =
25178.4869
 1-4 NB = 7963.5507 1-4 EEL = 64631.2441 VDWAALS =
113969.4007
 EELEC = -1262061.3186 EHBOND = 0.0000 RESTRAINT =
0.0000
 EKCMT = 84204.6709 VIRIAL = 80808.8977 VOLUME =
3158971.8866
                                                    Density =
1.0144
 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It seems this system is pretty unstable in general...

What happens on a CPU at your end?
