If you use grompp to do the restart, your .mdp file has a parameter that
is setting the initial time to zero. If you want to use grompp thus, you
need to use a different .mdp for simulation restarts compared with your
restarts after equilibration. Using tpbconv for restarts doesn't have this
problem. Reading and understanding the relevant manual sections about what
each command in your .mdp file actually does, would also avoid this
problem, and probably dozens of others.

Why is it, I wonder to myself rhetorically, that every second reply I make
on here suggests somebody read the manual/man pages/web pages/original
literature??? :-)
