Note the the bond energy is very high at step 0. Use the "checkstructure"
action in cpptraj to print out suspicious bonds.

It's worth turning off TI for a short simulation (say nstlim=25, ntpr=1) to
see if the problem is really related to TI. Even if it is related to TI,
don't set ntpr to some large value like 10000: you need to figure out what
is going on right at the beginning of your simulation.

...hope this helps...dac
