[gmx-users] what's "inconsistent shifts"?

[Xu ZhiPing]

Dear all:
	I am now using GMX 3.1.4 to simulate a periodic system of CNT, and I following the em-md procodure, but I the log file, I found warning like
" There were 60 inconsistent shifts. Check your topology. ", I do not know what's the meaning of "inconsistent shifts", so I search all the posts before, some similar posts were found, but I still do not know how to solve this, I have relaxed my simulation box.
	Can anyone help me and tell me what's the meaning of  "shifs", and will and how this "shifts" affect the simulation results? or just a fussy warning?

	Thanks a lot.
