first, check the algorithm, how the velocities at 
v(t) = 1/2 * [ v(t-dt/2) + v(t+dt/2) ]
basically, you have to store two velocity frames, and read them in again
at the start of mdrun. 

Start by reading the manual if you haven't already, then check the
calc_ekin routine in update.c.
If you still want to continue doing it then let's move this discussion
to gmx-developers
