I am just curious why the system would explode without

the solvent molecule, one atom of which crossed the box boundary.
No?
Without setting the periodic_molecules keyword, mdrun tries to assemble all the
bonds within the unit cell. Given that a bond between atoms at either end of
the box would be very unfavorable, it would distort the system considerably, or
fail altogether if using constraints. Bonds only span PBC when instructed with
periodic_molecules.
