Are these jumps that you see accompanied by corresponding jumps in the
energy? Is your simulation crashing and/or do you have '*****' in your
coordinates or printed energies? If not then it could be you just have
visualization artifacts caused by imaging; these artifacts can be
removed with the 'autoimage' command of cpptraj.
On another note, your ions should never be "clumped" together. If they
are built in that way for some reason you can use the 'randomizeions'
command of ptraj/cpptraj to randomize the initial ion positions. Also,
if you are using monovalent salt make sure you are using the
Joung/Cheatham ion parameters.
