This seems unusual.  It seems like there might be a couple frames that have
bad van der Waals clashes.  You can use the -eo flag to dump the energies
for every frame to see which frames are problematic.  Visualizing these
frames might help you determine why this happened.  Indeed, a couple bad
clashes will ruin an average.
