It seemed to me that the original simulation was a set of free ions that
were associating by electrostatic interactions (the mdout *also* had
only nonbonded interactions). With rigid water and a large number of
closely-associating free ions as the only particles, this is about what
I'd expect. The T_solv looks weird, but perhaps that's because Amber
doesn't really discern "solvent" and "solute" differences as strictly as
it used to?

But if there *are* flexible bonds in the system, then this is indeed
strange output.

All the best,
Jason
