Hi,

Sorry fot no answering accurately.
Here is new insight for understanding my problem.

In fact, even simulations of pure water (tip4p and tip4p_ew) don't work !
And those simulations crash with a strange periodic pattern : still using 
g_msd, I observe
on the msd plot sudden jumps that occur exactly every 10.000 ps ! By "jump" I 
mean a violent
increase of the slope of the curve that lasts a short time, which is exactly 
0.1 ps each time in my case. The curve is linear with the correct diffusion 
constant otherwise. I observe such jumps between 10.0 and 10.1 ps, 20 and 20.1 
ps 30 and 30.1 ps, and so on, and each time the jumps have a higher magnitude 
than the previous one, till the simulation crashes.

I don't see anything in my parameters that could explain such a periodicity of 
10.000 ps. I tried to half the timestep, and it halved the duration of the 
jump, which thus became 0.05, but it didn't changed the periodicity of 10 ps. 
Changing tau_t had no consequence.

Here are again my parameters for water simulation : constraints = all-bonds

dt = 0.002

I think you should either use
- constraints = h-bonds,   dt = 0.002
or
- constraints = all-bonds, dt = 0.004
but not a combination of both.

Constraining all-bonds is *merely only* for getting a bigger time step for md, but for regular simulations, i would definitely only constrain h-bonds and use dt=0.002.

Cheers,
Stéphane
