Gerald.

If you share your files we can take a look on my group's side.

We have seen this before due to a VERY weird issue. There are cases
where tleap decides to create carbon chains going through the middle of
a phenyl ring for instance. Incredibly enough, some of these are
perfectly stable at 2 fs, even though they are wrong. 4 fs forces the
issues and things blow up, but it has nothing to do with the time step,
it is tleap's fault. I suggest you rerun with 4 fs and ntwx=1, and look
at your trajectory to see what blows up.
