It is an imaging artifact. If you set "iwrap=1" in the mdin file it
will enable wrapping in the output coordinates.

The volume of the unit cell should be printed in the mdout file every
ntpr steps. The box dimensions (lengths and angles between the vectors)
is printed in the trajectory file. You can use "ncdump" to look at data
in NetCDF trajectories or just open an ASCII trajectory to look at the
box dimensions.
