I know the tutorial system is robust enough that it won't matter.  That is not 
necessarily true for whatever other system you come up with.  Be careful when 
extrapolating something that works in a tutorial with something that is 
untested.  The general logic is the same (you need to equilibrate for a little 
while first), but you have to think a bit about the proper settings.  There is 
also no guarantee that the length of time I set in the tutorial simulation 
processes (equilibration, SMD, and umbrella sampling) will necessarily be 
sufficient for whatever you're doing.

The only way to find them is to look.  I have no special advice for this.

Then clearly something was broken across PBC, which means there is no real 
problem.

-JustinIn case that something was broken across PBC, why there is no real 
problem? Do you mean molecule breaking will not affect the simulation result?
