It means that those two atoms ended up with positions more than  
9999.9 A away from the
center of the xplor coordinate system.

It can happen with very big systems, or with systems that aren't  
covalently bonded.
Did you forget to include some intermolecular NOEs?

But it's most common to see it in cases where some potential term  
wasn't set up correctly.
If a particular term is generating very high energy & force, it can  
end up throwing an atom
out into space.

Take a look at the energies reported by xplor during your dynamics  
trajectory.  Is one term
very large?  Is the IVM taking extremely short timesteps?  That might  
put you on the right track.
