Are you sure? have you looked at the last "good" frame before this message?
GMX treats PBC as it should during MD neighbour search, so maybe this is a
pair that was initially close and interacting, but later moved away from
each other.

If you are sure that everything else is ok, then extend the table extension.
Two other things to work around this are either reduce timestep or check
that your definition of the box is as it should.
