    We don't know. You've been changing your box volume but haven't said
    anything about the contents. You need to look at how the box changes
    over the NPT run, like I said last time. If your generated solvent
    density was wrong such that you needed to add about 20% more volume,
    then expect to need to equilibrate for quite a while.<br>

                That kind of thing is normal in the very early stages of
                NPT equilibration when the volume is not quite right.
                mdrun is just warning you that there are some changes
                going on. Use g_energy to see those. If it bothers you,
                then you will want to adjust your density (i.e. number
                of water molecules) before starting.<br>
