I've never heard of such a thing.  Unless you can produce the source, no one can 
comment on its validity.  I've had jobs that run for weeks of computing time 
without problem, and I know others whose jobs are even longer.

The only potentially related information I can think of is using mdrun -maxh, 
which will terminate the run if it exceeds the specified value.

Unless you're actually seeing a problem with long simulations inexplicably 
dying, I wouldn't think there's a reason to worry.
