Hello,

As far as I remember, the problem is quite more complex when NTP is used.
The coordinates are re-computed for the size of the box and the restraints
don't work anymore also.
It's a real (and long standing) problem when you try to equilibrate a
protein in solvent with some restraints on some positions and you want to
do several restarts with the restraints in place.
